Deadpool Valentine

My other half came back from Brussels last weekend with a horrid cold and I thought I’d managed to avoid it, but no such luck. Add to that a weekend visit from my brother, which meant a lot more talking than usual, and now my voice has disappeared almost completely. Luckily I don’t need to be able to speak to create a Valentine’s card…

 There’s this one bit in Deadpool with a bunch of, quite frankly, freakish cartoon characters, one of which is a comparatively normal-looking walking heart. We have watched this film so many times that it was an obvious choice for a Valentine’s card.

I couldn’t find any decent versions of the heart online so I gave in and sketched one myself — using my light box to create a clean line version — and coloured it with my trusty Copic markers, adding a couple of white highlights. I fussy cut around the heart, leaving a panel below where I inlaid the foiled HUGS letters. I glued an embossed panel to a red card base and used some foam tape to pop up the heart and sentiment on top of it.
