Taco Fiesta Valentine

Taco Fiesta

My husbands favorite valentine punchline that he still remembers from the 3rd grade, is "Won't you peas be my podner"..... ha ha ha! I don't have any stamp sets with peas, but I thought it would be fun to make some valentines out of some of my other stamp sets that were no valentine specific. This spicy little Valentine is extra fun because is has floating strips across the back! So much fun! The strips are adhered to a window sheet to create the floating effect. I totally could have used the cactus or the tacos for the front of this valentine..... I love the peppers.
