Raggedy Love

Child Friendly, Everyday, Holidays, love, Ocassions, Thinking of You/Miss You, Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine’s Day my friends!!  Hope that you’re “feeling the love” and have a wonderful day today!

I wanted to share a card I made for Valentine’s Day.

Vicki-RaggedyLove

This really cute images is from Stamp On It called “Love You” digital stamp by QKR Stampede.  I wanted to try and keep to the “original” Raggedy Ann style of colors as I could, so I ended up Google searching for photos so that I could use that as a basis for my coloring.  I also thought that the rectangle die cut panels would go great for cutting her out with.

I sponged around the edges of the image panel with some blue distress ink, added some heart confetti pieces along with a white twine bow to the center of the heart.

Taking a closer look at the image, you can see how dimensional those confetti hearts are.  There is actually a heart that prints out in the center of the “o” in the sentiment, but I decided to place one of those confetti hearts over it.

There is also some shimmer you can see in the heart with the bow that I’ve covered with a glitter brush pen.  And in coloring her in, I’ve added some extra “dots” on her blue dress and then I took a white gel pen to add a pattern on her red patch on the apron and then also to add some “stripes” to her socks and “dots” to her cheeks.

If you look at her eyes, I’ve taken a black gel pen which gives them a slight dimension and makes them stand out a bit more.

  1. Oh, Vicki, I love what you’ve done with her! Wonderful idea to add the blue to the typical red and white of a Valentine. Great coloring and the tiny hearts (especially the one you put in her had) add such great dimension. 😀 Finally, I’m so glad to see that you entered it into the QKR Stampede challenge. Good luck.

  8. What a delight to be able to send Valentines to your Mum and Dad. They’re only sent to ‘other halves’ over here but this is a lovely gesture. Seeing the image is like going back in time to when I first began stamping – images like yours were the trend, then – lots of cute dolls. I bet your parents were thrilled.
    Thank you for sharing with us at Try it on Tuesday.

  26. Your card also brought back wonderful memories for me. My Mom hand made the dolls and clothes, Andy too in all sizes and sold them. I have a pair of the giant ones and I wanted them in beige and browns to go with my decor at the time. I displayed them on an old steamer trunk in my dinning room for many years. I recently was trying to clean out stuff on a shelf in our basement and opened a large box and there they were! I love the card and the digi, might have to have it, makes a perfect Valentine for your Mom and I bet she absolutely loved it.

    Hugs
