Happy Valentine's Day

I experimented with some digital images to make a Valentine.  After printing out two digital images, I fussy cut one and adhered it to a card front.  I placed the second image on the inside of the card. 

Images are from Gecko Galz Etsy Shop:

Tiny Dancer Journal Page

 I created a mostly digital journal page.  I layered several digital items, then printed out the composition, used colored pencils on the hand before adding a ruffled trimmed sleeve and two rings from a gold sticker.  I finished with label maker words.

Inspiration:  On the opening show of this season's The Voice, the four judges sang, Tiny Dancer by Elton John and Bernie Taupin..
