K = Keepsake

I found a wonderful fantasy picture for today's theme; I always try to find the original artist, but sometimes I just can't. Anyway, I used cass-Slat Heart-Template and adjusted it as needed. The background is the original pic with gaussian blur and a lower opacity over a white layer. I gave the original black outline of the heart an overlay blend mode. Then I added some selections I flood-filled with black for the stripes and changed the blend mode to soft light. The font is Adine Kirnberg, free from 1001 Fonts.

Me, too. I have several of her illustrations that are in black and white, but I thought this one was far more interesting. Thanks so much.

Today's gaming theme fit the valentine's day challenge. I found a wonderful fantasy picture; I always try to find the original artist, but sometimes I just can't.

F = Flowers

Fashion Illustration is by Megan Hess. I used a combination of fonts: Veria Monogram and Bodoni MT. I like the monogram, but not the actual letter in it so I converted it to raster and erased the letter. Then I used Bodoni. The lace was a png that I've had for a long time so I don't know where it came from.

A bit early for Mardi Gras, but I use the theme that the game gives me every day. lol The mask clip art is from CF. I recreated (used as inspiration?) the word art, also from CF. The fonts I used are Cooper MdBT and BetterValentina. And, of course, the woman is a character from the game.

S = Sweetheart

If there were an animal shelter/rescue near me, I would love to volunteer. I modified a Corel template for this project. Finished it with just a couple of minutes to go!

J = Jewelry!

A = Amor

Aw, sleepy cheetah.

I just LOVE Cassel's Punches; I used her Edge Punches to make the black border around the dancing people. Such an easy way to "dress up" your page. I would love to see a new set of Edge Punches (hint-hint). The font is Grenadier NF from 1001Fonts.

I signed up and hope I make the time to participate.

Thanks, Corrie, but as Ann pointed out, they were part of the template. I'll have to try the stencil tutorial!

I LOVE gnomes!

Inspired by a layout from Promethean Concepts by Laurel Stone in the ALFLT January 2022 Blog Train, Heart Full of Love. The font is Poor Richard; I have a lot of valentine/heart fonts, but I thought the template had enough hearts already lol. In fact, there was another bunch of hearts on the top that I deleted to have room for my titles.

I love it, Mireille! Just added this to my favorites in the store!

Thanks so much for the WOWZERS, Susan. I have to give credit for the dots in the middle to the original illustrator, Bahar. But I have done half and half on some things I've done.
