I'm still on the quest to create Valentine's Day cards for my son's Army unit -- with a goal of 75 cards, I've still got a bit to do to get these in the mail by the end of the week so they have time to mail them back to their sweeties.
So these have to be quick, clean and fairly easy. No bling, glitter, ribbons or anything too fussy.... the military isn't too fond of lumpy envelopes. I used this stamp from Designs Unlimited to create several cards using this image. Even with a bit of copics coloring, they were fast to make and I love this no-fuss, tailored look. Here's just one version.
Clean, simple, elegant... that's my take at least.
I'm entering this in these challenges...
