Sending You Love

So I almost forgot to check out the monthly image at Gerda Steiner Designs. I’m so glad I checked with a few days left because it was this adorable panda. So I pulled out some new Queen & Co paper I bought and asked my husband to color it up in photoshop to match. My printer prints darker and not always the color on the screen so the first print was more green (see 2nd version) then the color in the striped paper. So after several attempts we got the color to match the papers and that is this version! I used Atlantic Hearts Sketch #248 as my inspiration.

Princesses Valentine

Inside: I hope you have the Happiest Valentine Day in all the Kingdom.

So a lady at work saw the princess birthday card I did and wanted a valentine one for her nieces.

This is the last of the princess dies in the package so will have to make Christmas cards with the rest of the dies.
