Happy Valentine’s Day!

I have discovered the Golden Gel Mediums at the Blicks Art Supply store in Philadelphia last year with friends after we attended the flower show. I love its ability to form various texture and mixing with colors. It is flexible and clear after dried. I bought one to make cards.

Sometimes I just love designs like this. It is totally spontaneous. Just draw out something free handed without any pre-plans. The result is so carefree and relaxed. I love the texture of this card. The gel hearts, the skeleton leaves, the pressed roses, and paper all having different texture. I think handmade cards are such that we not only have the visual effects but are also having interesting texture. After call, cards are meant to be held in hands and meant to be touched.
