Stampin' In Alaska

I wanted to join the current color challenge hosted by Unity on their Facebook page.  Love the blues and reds together!  This little image by Phyllis Harris called So Very Much arrived in my last Unity order.  I thought it would be perfect for a sweet Valentine's card. The image was stamped onto Copic 70 lbs marker paper and colored with Copic Markers.  (Copics used:  W1,W3,W5,E53, E35, E33,B02 and R29)  The sentiment is from Sweet 'n Sassy and the panel was layered onto designer papers from Little Yellow Bicycle called Just Because. My only embellishment is a coordinating Baker's Twine bow. This card will be going into my stack for the Cards From the Heart Card Drive sponsored by Winter Sims and her family.  They are collecting Valentine Cards for distribution to patients at local hospitals, foster homes and a nursing home.     If you are interested in participating be sure to visit Winter's blog for all of the deta...
