Doodle Factory Valentine

I've gotten a bunch of new stamping and crafting stuff this week and I am trying to work my way through trying it all out. This card includes just a little bit of the newest additions to my collection. I made this card for Beate's weekend sketch challenge. It also works for Allison's "Suggestive Sunday" challenge, which was to make a card that would be appropriate to give to a child. It's a bright, child-friendly valentine that features images from the Doodle Factory line from Starving Artistamps. The Doodle Factory images are so much fun! I think they'll help me solve one of my big challenges--what to do for cards for little boys.

I stamped the bee image from the Doodle Factory Valentine set twice--once on the white panel and once on a scrap. I colored the bee on the scrap piece with Copic markers and trimmed around it. I embellished the bee with vellum wings and a little glitter too. I added details to the white panel (stamped grass from the Doodledads elements set and a sponged sky), then added the bee to the panel with a dimensional.

The long panel on the front is also created with Doodle Factory images. I stamped the sentiment from the Valentine set along with one of the elements from the Doodledads set in a pattern to create a quick coordinating panel for the cardfront.
