I had some really fabulous stamps to work with and decided to created two projects.  As most of you know, cards aren't my strength, so today I have an ATC and a Tag for your enjoyment.

For my Love ATC, I stamped Furever Friends with Versafine ink then using a brush and Art Anthology Sandcastle Colorations as a water color, I filled in the background.  I painted the girls hair with Art Anthology Lemon Tart Velvet, her skin with Portobello Velvet, and the white of her blouse and the dog's face with Cotton Velvet.  I then stamped Love in Versafine ink and added three small red mulberry roses below.

For my Let's Roll Tag, I first created the background using several colors of shimmer ink.  I set it aside to dry.  Next I stamped Let's Roll on a Bristol ATC and colored the truck with Art Anthology French Toast Colorations and the trees with Avocado and Grass Colorations.  I adhered this to my tag and then edged it with some dark green sparkly ribbon.  I stamped the sentiment "Let's Roll" onto a piece of paper that was sprayed with Valentine Colorations, cut it out, and glued it to the top of my tag, outlining it with a black pen.  Some green and orange fiber finish it off.
