Greetings friends.  Who is ready for a new year and a new release?  I know I am. I am praying for health and happiness for everyone in 2021.

For my card today, I wanted to make a valentine that isn't really a valentine.  It could be used for February 14th as well as a comfort card for anyone that needs a little extra support. I like that you can use it year-round send it to many different people in addition to a significant other.

To make the card, I stamped the sentiment in brown ink on a  kraft notecard.  I then stamped the dog onto 140lb watercolor paper in black archival ink and before coloring him with Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers and a waterbrush. As a finishing touch, I added a heart diecut and some neutral twine.

I hope you will visit all the designers today and be inspired by their creations!

Dog With Heart D12336

    I like your idea of a "Valentine that isn't a Valentine." We all need to send and receive those more! Thanks for sharing.

    That little pup is beyond cuteness & adorability. I'm liking the Big Hug word die you've used beside it. I also agree we can send a card saying we love someone without it being valentines day, be it your spouse, your kids, or a friend.

    This is beyond cute!!! I love the combo of this sweet doggie with the Big Hugs sentiment, which btw is a must have! I love everything about this down to the red heart on the twine to coordinate with the heart on the dog! So well done!
