Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! I sincerely hope that your life is as blessed with love as mine. Know that I send love to all my blogging friends.
In the spirit of Valentine’s Day I want to post a notecard that I created yesterday. For the last few months I have been creating collaged bookmarks and I am very proud of them and think you will be surprised by them when I begin to post them in the next few days. But for now I am really pleased with this my first notecard. It is quite lovely and was inspired by the love and tenderness I felt when I saw the image. The color is actually richer and deeper than you see in the image. When I create my collages (I’ve done ATC collages for family members in the past. They are posted on this blog in the ATC category.) I use images from magazines, catalogs, advertising mailings, or calendars. When I assemble my collages I try to create something essentially different from the original.
I look at composition, color, texture and content. I chose a background that captures a feeling of starlight and moon glow and added the flowers to create softness and to add a little color. I wish you were with me. In person it looks lovely. When I create my collages I think of them as original works of art and sign and date them. Enjoy on this special day!

Very pretty! Have you conidered laminating your bookmarks? Most of the business box stores can do it for you pretty cheaply or have a self service machine.
So far the bookmarks seem to be very sturdy and don’t seem to need lamination but I am continuing to watch how they wear. I will be posting the ones I gave to friends over the holidays soon.
