Valentine's LTCs

Happy love day everyone! Hope everyone is feeling loved in one way or another, even if it's just your cat giving you snuggles. Here are some Valentine's LTCs I've made.

Bleeding Heart

Bleeding heart flowers remind me of my Grandma. She had them in her garden and I was fascinated by them when I was a child. I thought they would make a good Valentine inchie.

Elephant Love

This was another art abandonment during Valentine's. I abandoned several of the cards around and I hope they gave someone a smile.

Romantic Love

I used this stamp for a quisp for a while, then this LTC, and then it went off to an event.

We're a Match!

This was my first Valentine's swap. I thought this was a funny image.

A Couple More Pin Ups

I missed three pin ups last time around. Unfortunately, it looks like I gave away the last of one of them and never scanned it first. It was a pretty elf woman. So, here's the other two.

Yes, Sir!

Jonky

(that's pizza in his mouth)

Three Favorites

I've already posted several of my favorite cards. Here are three more.

Poe: Alone

I printed out the poem on some cardstock and cut them into the correct size. Then I stamped the boy in brown, tore some tissue paper and glued it on. Last I sprayed it with copper glitter spray.

Fairy Rider

This one was for an art abandonment tracker. So I ended up abandoning one of the LTCs and the stamp as a gift for someone to find. This was stamped onto velum, colored with colored pencils, and glued onto a patterned card stock. Then I stuck on a butterfly sticker. I really love carving fairies.

Four if By Sea's Request

Four if By Sea requested something nautical or something to do with ocean life, so this is what I came up with. It is a mash up of a two pictures, a whale skeleton and it was a painting of a ship. I just really liked how it came out. It's colored with pastels.

My Least Favorite LTCs

Every once in a while, I make a card that does not come out how I envisioned it. Ok, maybe never does a card come out how I envisioned it, but usually I still like them. Sometimes, I just don't like the end result for some reason. I usually decide I don't like it after making all the cards and I don't have time to make new ones or I just can't come up with anything better. So here are my least favorite LTCs. Hopefully I'm not that only one who isn't always satisfied with their cards.

Chickens - I drew this one myself. Just don't like how it came together.

Corn Maze - This dang stamp. I could not carve the back corn clear and it annoyed me.

Cow Jumping Over the Moon - I cut out the border myself and just couldn't get it even.

The Ugly Duckling - I couldn't find a better white ink at the time, so it's too pale for my happiness.

Arkansas: Apple Blossom - This is my least favorite card of all time. I had to make 50 of them, which might be part of the problem. Plus I decided to watercolor the branch. I never wanted to see another apple blossom again.

Spring Flower - This very cute stamp is not mine. It was a swap where we designed cards for four different stamps that other people made. I could not come up with anything for this flower, so I just glitterfied it.
