I have one last Valentine, a love letter, if you will. I’ve used a combination of products, but the foundation is the Hand-Penned Petals bundle. You won’t find colors like these in nature, but that’s irrelevant: reinventing what you see is what creativity is all about.

• Stamps: Hand-Penned Petals, Love & Happiness
• Color Palette: Basic White, Crumb Cake, Basic Black, Pool Party, Soft Succulent, Just Jade
• Accessories: Big Boss, Penned Flowers dies, Layering Circles dies, Basic Patterns Decorative Masks, Blending Brushes, Vellum Card Stock, Linen Thread, Stampin’ Dimensionals

The Basic Patterns Decorative Masks have sat neglected on my craft desk for an embarrassing amount of time. I’ve left them out, in the way and looking as though they ought to be picked up and put away, just to be sure I use them more. I LIKE them. They’re SIMPLE to use. They add a 💥 to any project.

One of the reasons I love Hand-Penned Petals so much is (wait for it, you know it’s coming) I love to color. These flowers have enough detail to inspire me to try something different each time, but not so much as to be exhausting. Yeah, I know you’re not supposed to have brown leaves, that’s kind of a bad thing in the real, garden world. But don’t you think it works here?

I added a little more stenciling with the mask on the inside of the card. Detailing the inside of the card and the envelope are little extras that help to focus the hand-made nature of a hand-made card. It’s another way of saying “I love you.”

You don’t need a special occasion to send this card, or any other card. Write a few lines inside – copy a couple of lines of poetry or steal something from social media. You don’t need to be all Shakespearean about it, and it doesn’t have to be perfect to be very, very good.
