They say "to plant a tree is to believe in tomorrow", and I figure the same goes for making Valentines in May. Purple Valentine hugs.
Continuing with the Rubbernecker cards, I'm using another of the fox critters I colored in April. It was their first time out of the package and before I put the set away I colored the whole bunch with Prismacolor pencils and odorless mineral spirits. The heart paper is 110 lb printed cardstock, a nice weight for a simple card, and I had just the right shade of purple for the die.
Inside is a friendship sentiment from the Fox set, with the addition of a Valentine sentiment from an older SU set. I decorated with more of the heart paper.
No challenges today. Just me stamping. I gave the foxes a good run and I'm happy about that. Flowers coming Friday. I hope to see you then!

What a cutie gracing the corner of your pretty purple card. I do love purple but don't use it much...so you have really caught my eye!
Such a sweet card! Little foxy is so cute, and love the purple. Your heart background colour matches your purple die cut frame perfectly, as I find purples are hard to match! Love the inside sentiment as well. You always amaze me with your creations Leslie, so looking forward to Friday with your floral card. Have yourself a wonderful day!
This is so cute. I love it.

So adorable. Love the cute little fox image, and you are using purple - my favorite color. The flower die is just the perfect touch. Happy stamping.
Love this. I am beginning to believe the only way not to stress is to make all holiday cards all year long alongside the birthday cards.
You gave the foxes a fantastic run! I'm all for Valentine's in May too! Mostly I appreciate the fun you've had with these stamps. The pretty colors make this swoon-worthy!
cute fox and cute card. Have a great day
Ok, this little foxy is adorable!! When my hubby gives me this look......I just.....

I love how you made him to be the focus of your card, the flower frame and the little hearts background are the best way to send your sweet message.
The soft purple color is a delightful bonus.
Thank you for sharing.
Stay healthy and safe.

Aaahhh...Your sweet fox is so beautifully pencil watercolored and is the perfect embellishment for your beautiful hearts Valentine. How fun to sit and color all the critter images so you have extras when needed:-) I must do more of that...TFS and always inspiring me, my friend. BTW..now that we are home again we sure have been busy..Denny outside mowing and mowing and weedeating and me inside the trailer and the house cleaning. Finally put my craft supplies away and now I am ready to play in my room:-) Love and Hugs...Missed you, my friend..
Awesome card, certainly looks great...
Just for fun stamping is the very best kind, Leslie! LOve your Valentine and that foxy little flower delivery guy - colored so beautifully!

The fox is just the cutest with the pretty bouquet of flowers. That hugs heart die is so sweet and I loved it framed with that flower square with the pretty gems for the centers. Like the way you finished it off on the inside to match, yes always good to be ahead of time with our cards :)
WOW, love your purple-y fox card, so full of Springtime goodness! Hope your gardening is coming along, I have yet been able (but once) to work outside, always cold, snowing or raining but there is hope, we jump into the 80's next week and I intend to spend my days weeding and transplanting!!
OH MY STARS ... this little guy is just the cutest little thing and of course the color is AWESOME in my eyes (my favorites as you know). WOW your colors are a perfect match and love your design ... just perfect! Thanks for the smile today ... I can always depend on you for inspiration & a smile!! Have a great day my friend!
Happy Valentine's Day! :-) This is a darling card of purple and white, made more darling by that beautifully colored fox!
Oh my gosh ... that has to be the CUTEST fox I've ever seen! :) Adorable and he just makes me smile, Leslie! I bet you smiled the whole time you were colouring your foxes. :) xx
I do love this, the simple colour palette, that gorgeous die and the happy little fox, it all hangs together beautifully. Glad you have used those foxes again, it always feel good. You can put them away with a clear conscience now xx
