I used this as one of my punny Valentine cards – but it works for a LOVE card, too.
Lots of masking to stamp the cacti and succulents, with a touch of Copic coloring to fill in.
After a month of trying, I was able to schedule COVID-19 vaccine appointments for both of my parents (in their mid 80’s). We go this week for shot #1, and then again the last week of March for shot #2.
Now I get to figure out the scheduling system in my in-laws home state.
I put away my papercrafting supplies for 2 days and made some different face masks to try for personal use (not for sale).

I mass produced the pleated style last spring and summer for family members. We all need some fresh masks – elastic is stretched, washing wear & tear. The clam shell one is white muslin – I had too many sizes to chose from, and I didn’t want to waste pretty fabric if I guessed wrong.
