PaD Feb 8

Here's my cards for the girls for Valentine's Day. They are so cute. Thanks Christina for showing us the idea. You have to imagine a lollipop in the hand of each girl. To finish these cards use an exacto knife or a hole punch and slice or punch a hole on each side of the hand. Then all you have to do is insert the lollipop. I got dum dum lollipops and the stick is just a little too thick so I will have to search for some with skinnier sticks. The larger sticks end up bending the picture and it doesn't lay flat. If I can't find thinner sticks I will use the dum dum's, but hopefully I can find something else. If you would like to make these cards too just use a large aperture like f2.8 or larger and focus on the hand to seperate it from the background.
