The Spot Challenge #149 // Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge #357

 Two challenges inspired today's card...

Hand Stamped Sentiments // #HSS357 ...A color challenge!! Their current color combo is Real Red, Blushing Bride, and Bermuda Bay.  A fun combo for a masculine Valentine's Day card.

The Spot // #149 ...A sketch challenge!!  I used this sketch to create a Valentine's Day card for my hubby!  Ever try the brayer technique to get a reserve image?? That is what I did so I could have two turtles facing each other.  How??  Ink up your stamp...roll your brayer across the inked image...immediately roll inked brayer on to your paper!! It give a lighter image so I "stamped off" for my second turtle so that they would be closer to the same color.
