Male Room Valentine Challenge

I'm excited to announce this is the first post for a new design team I'm on, The Male Room.  It's a perfect fit since I'm surrounded by boys and the challenges here are for manly creations.  It's a bi-weekly challenge blog and for the next 2 weeks we want to see manly Valentine creations.  It's also weird because we don't celebrate the Hallmark holiday of Valentine's in this house, but I love to make cards and things for the kids or friends that ask for a special card for their love ones.

I went for a simple design, nothing too over the top.  The image is from the Unity's stamp set Love Leads the Way.  The heart dp was a homemade paper I found and it's the last piece of scrap I have of it :o(  It had the hearts on the front and the deep red on the back (which was used for the sentiment).  Watercolor pencils and regular pencils were used to color in the image.

thanks for looking and reading :o)

Hope to see you in our manly Valentine challenge.
