Valentine Wild Flower



I've made an alternative kind of Valentines card with no hearts or read :)


When I originally did this image he was holding a heart balloon.  My hubby actually gave me inspiration on this one, he said "where would he have got the ballon?"  So I changed it to him holding a wild flower he might have just picked from a garden.

The image has been coloured with Copics and a black polychromos pencil, my warm greys have run out of ink so I needed to top his beard and tash up :)


I did my usual, looked for the design paper after.  Amazingly this was in the first paper pack I picked up on the first page!  It's from First Edition.  I've also used some black card and an XOXO sentiment.

Thanks for popping by for a look today.  We hope to see some of you in the challenge

I am in love with both the image and your imaginative treatment of it! This is visually stunning! Your husband sounds like mine...asking all those logical questions. That what I get for marrying an engineer!

Lovely departure from the expected Valentine's expressions! Thanks for sharing with us at A Place To Start!
