I’ve had this project in my stash for almost two years! It all started when Canson sent a box of their amazing printable papers.
Definitely the watercolor paper is my favorite to print on, but they come in all sorts of papers.
The first photo I altered in PicMonkey, adding the Polaroid frame. It came out distressed like this. So easy to mount with the Canson photo corners onto scrapbook paper. Then I added the XOXO embellishment. Sweet and simple.
Same idea here except this time I punched holes around the edge and laced it with chunky yarn. Lacing. This simple stitched border makes my heart flutter in all it’s homemade-ness. Perfect for grandma!
The last idea is a fave. My friend sent some scans of a little bug drawing by her daughter, Lily. I printed them and colored with Koi watercolor markers from Sakura.
Your kids would have a blast coloring their own art work (obviously)!
Because these were intended to be Valentines (and that I love layers and hearts and needed an excuse to add more), these little love bugs got a set of heart wings made from scrapbooking paper.
Mount them on solid paper and you’re ready to rock, Valentine!
