PAPER CAST VALENTINE original paper cast valentine with stamping © Saundra Lane Galloway

 Happy Valentines Day my Husband!

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY ALL!  Today was a project that has been on my mind for awhile.  This is a first.  Simple really...using one of my handmade paper casts I stamp!  I had my husband in mind on this one...sort of manly but not!  For those of you who may be making your own Valentines I found a fun and simple tutorial for making envelopes from a blog I found called the "Spotted Sparrow"...the author's name is Julia!  THANK YOU JULIA!!

 "Cactus Crowd"

8" x 8" on panel with 1 3/4" cradle sides left natural (buyer's choice to leave it such or have it stained at no extra cost)

I also am re posting my "Cactus Crowd" which I reworked just a tiny bit by adding my paper stream.  No one has asked my why I do this...but I'm gonna tell you anyway...I LOVE THE COLOR AND IMPLIED AND REAL TEXTURE THAT PAPER ADDS!...I also love to find other ways to add interest.  I liked Cactus Crowd like it was, but I LOVE it now!...so, it's just cuz I want to...:)  For your hopeful inspiration and enjoyment!...plus if anyone wants to purchase these happy little cactus's there is a buy now button at the bottom!  PS...I've photographed this numerous times and STILL the color doesn't come out right...it's much deeper than I think the pic shows...sigh...

HAPPY CREATING ALL!!
