St Valentines day, The 14th of February is fast approaching, so I have spent some time in the last couple of days thinking about hearts and flowers. If you have been reading my posts over the last few months, you will know that I have a liking for simple black and white. Either by creating black and white line drawings, or by paper cutting, I like making things where colour is minimised and pattern and form are everything. I started my hearts and flowers theme along these lines.

Once the drawing was finished I wanted to experiment with some colour but keep the original black and white. To do this I scanned the drawing into my computer and then used some software with my graphics tablet to add colour.

Here are two variations created in this way, and I have altered the size and shape of the background to allow for different greetings card dimensions. Who will you be making Valentines greeting for?
