Freestyle Card

It is time to think about the next occasion on the horizon. It seems to have been invented to interrupt the bleak stretch after Christmastime, when the weather is at its most dull and dire over here: Valentine's Day. This time I used unlikely templates for the obligatory card - Brussel Sprouts. You could also opt for lettuce heads for a bigger design...

Cut through the sprouts,

dip them into paint or press onto an ink pad and stamp
your 'roses' onto the card.

The leaves were made by rolling the outside of the sprout
over the card.

Lightly scribble the outlines of the roses
on the card with silver or gold gel pen.

Add a sheet of vellum or white paper inside to write your
sentiment on and simply use some ribbon to hold both together.
