my cuddling valentine

I love this darling Rachelle Anne Miller image by Stampavie called “Cuddling“!  And I thought, with the freezing temps here and all of the snow still on the ground, that it would make a cute valentine card.

I wanted to color the image with my Copic markers and mainly keep to the shades of pink and red.  So I was a bit stumped when it came time to color the blanket because I also didn’t want it to be too red.  I decided to leave the blanket white and just color the patches.  Then I highlighted it with the Cool Gray 1 marker. 

I drew the shades of pink and red from the patterned paper.  It was given to me by a friend, so I’m sorry that I don’t have a source.  A border was punched on the bottom piece with a Martha Stewart punch. 

For some accents, I pulled out my Cuttlebug dies and chose the Heart #1 and Love Language.

Here’s a pic of the inside as well. 

I hope you are nice and warm where you are!  My toes are still cold from taking Riley for a short walk.  It’s only 16 degrees here but feels even colder.  It was only 7 degrees last night.  Brrr!
