Juggling Hearts

Hello and happy February! I don't know about you but I am so glad it's February! It's a short month and in my head we're just that one month away from spring although I do know March (and even April) will still be chilly. I don't know why, but as I've gotten older winter months are just getting harder to deal with! I actually used to like winter... once upon a time! 

It's still a Winter theme at Four Seasons challenge and this is our last "Winter Season" month (until December). Hope you will join in with us! Winter Season means you may share anything winter months related including holidays like Valentine's Day :)

Here is my card and as usual it was inspired by the optional mood board.

Below is this month's optional mood board. I always enjoy being inspired by a mood board, this month I was inspired by the two images on the bottom.

I created a scene using Penny Black's Birches stamp and Pumice Stone Distress Oxide ink. Added a few hills with some torn paper masks and the same ink then I added the fussy cut penguin to the scene. The penguin is an oldie by Elzybells (no longer in business) colored him with copics then fussy cut. On the stamp he is juggling snowballs but I cut them away and instead added tiny hearts to make it a Valentines card.

I added some red and white twine and a strip of patterned paper. The sentiment is from My Favorite Things - Itty Bitty Basics. Oh, I also used the xoxoxo stamp from the Penny Black set Snippets on the tree. I applied Stickles glitter to the hearts, hat and scarf for some sparkle.
