Modifying a Christmas Stamp for Valentine’s Day Card!
Happy Thursday, all! Today I get to show you how I modified a holiday stamp from Magnolia and turned it into an image for a Valentine’s Day card…
The original stamp had Tilda holding up a Christmas stocking. Be sure to watch the video below to see what I did to make it look like she’s holding hearts on strings. :)
I colored the image with Distress Markers and a water brush. I love the soft look of watercolor, and using Distress Markers is an easy way to get that look.

This was awesome. Didn’t know you could mask off parts of a stamp. Didn’t know about that tape. It was great to see you color with distress markers and the water brush. What a great card and wonderful tutorial filled with information. Thanks so much.
Thank you for this great tutorial Video, I´ve learnd a lot about coloring with D-Markers.
Will test it by myself *gg

Very cute card! Love the color choices and the hearts are adorable.
I just did a post-it masking trick on a card yesterday. It works awesome, but only if you remember to remove the post-it tape before stamping. I may have forgotten to a couple of times and ended up with a smudgy mess.
Cute card, I’m going to have to go look at some of my Christmas stamps and see what I can come up with! Thanks for sharing.
Ilike how you did Tilda, a elegant card and not too cutesy
Beautiful card! Great idea to use a Christmas stamp and alter it! Wonderful coloring! I always love your color combos…I have a terrible time with colors and knowing what goes with what!

What a clever use for a Christmas stamp. Really cute card with awesome coloring as usual. I’ve not gotten into Distress markers because I struggle with color, blending & shadows. I really need an in-home tutor. Any volunteers?
The card is awesome! I will have to look more carefully at what I have that I can modify with the masking technique. Thanks for sharing your video with us.

This is a great idea and an adorable card!
Always instructive to see Kristina work. Love watching you do the shading with the Distress Markers. Especially cute were those tiny little hearts!
What a cute card – I love how you re-purposed the Christmas stamp. Just wondering if maybe a little color on the ends of her hair might have been missed? Hard to tell from the photos! Love it!
