Birthday pirate

Not having too much digitals specifically on hand when it comes to boys, I just used this Little Miss Muffet pirate for the purpose.   I've colored him with prisma pencils and gamsol, then die cut the sentiment.   I found a section of background paper I could cut to size, with the birds already on it, in my stash.   I ended up having to take this photo on an overcast day, so it's not the best or clearest -- sorry about that.

Postal mail

Well, there are a few of us that still use regular mail to send off cards -- which are always appreciated by the recipient, especially in this day and age.  This Penny Black hedgehog seems to be tickled with his special delivery.    I tucked a doily behind, and added the heart in the corner, with the addition of the die cut framed "friend".

Lovebugs . . .

This circle sentiment image is from Bugaboo, and I've added the heart atop them.   The "with love" is washi tape, and then an enamel heart was added to complete this cute, but simple, card.

String along

Everyone can pretty much tell a Bugaboo image, as they're popular and cute.  I've computer generated my sentiment, and added a little gem center to the flower in her headband.  A simple matter of coordinating striped and checked background papers, and this made into a cute and easy card.

Catch a kiss

This adorable girl is from Mo Manning, which made for a perfect valentine's card, what with adding the little conversation hearts.  I tucked a heart doily behind my image, and thought the lips background paper I found in my stash  coordinates perfectly.   That's a corner punch that I used for the open heart.

Young love

What a cute image from LOTV, which I've colored, using prisma pencils and gamsol.   A bit of layering, a lacy doily tucked behind, and the die cut and hearts added to complete this card.

Beary good hugs

Can we say "aw" for this cute girl and cuddly teddy bear?   I layered a couple lacy doilies behind my framed image, and added the die cut foliage and heart, with a gem center.  The flowers were added with heart brads for their centers.  The bear is a die cut also.
