My mind did go straight to Valentines day – so this is what I came up with, along with another.

I used the Driving By stamp set for the car image, leaving off the balloons already part of the image. I colored the car in with a Real Red Stampin’ Write Marker. The heart balloons I created using the triple heart image, only inking up one of the hearts with Melon Mambo and Blushing Bride, from the Sweet Conversations stamp set. I drew the strings in freehand with a journaling pen. The sentiment was pulled from the Gumball Greeting stamp set. I die cut the final panel with a Stitched Rectangles Die and attached it to the card base with a slightly smaller piece of white craft foam. I prefer the support a full piece of craft foam offers verses dimensionals on the larger panels like this, it doesn’t add to postage either.
