Our Mousey sister Pam is hosting and her theme is
Anything Goes
Or an option of
Hearts
I have used House Mouse image HMLR Hoppy Valentines, stamped then coloured with pencils.  The background was inked up using Distress Oxides then over stamped with hearts.  The colours I have chosen particularly the grey, is because this is my Husbands valentines card and therefore wanted a more masculine colour on it.
