Happy Valentine's Day, my dear SCS friends! I have very romantic plans to get my taxes done tonight. So like any good cardmaker, I've decided to make a Valentine's Day for my tax accountant. She's the best! The two challenges were fun to combine today with a nice yellow and purple card. I started off by stenciling a yellow honeycomb background and stamping bees all over. I was going to stencil the hearts with paint, but my paint was too thin and ran under the stencil, so I just freehanded my hearts. After the paint dried, I drew in outlines on the hearts with black pen. I splattered with water and black paint for some added interest. And finished with a Crackerbox & Suzy sentiment for the fun challenge on their Facebook page. The challenge is monochrome, so I had to make two cards (one without the hearts). Here is a link to that challenge.

Sweet, fun. I love the purple hearts, a nice change. This was the colour combo I first thought of. Good luck with the taxes! Romance is for every day, anyway.

Love this for both challenges, Jen, beautiful purple & yellow colour combination, wonderful sentiment and I just love the purple hearts. The bg behind the sentiment looks fabulous, too!
