footprint valentines

the boy and i did a little project together. and i can only hope it's the first of many. he was chuckling every time i painted his foot for another print. i love how each footprint came out uniquely different. each card is a one of a kind print. there is nothing as sweet as little baby feet.




valentine prints diy
01. non-toxic washable paint set.
02. fine bristled paint brush.
03. art pad, i like thick paper made for watercolors.
04. baby wipes for quick clean up.

i painted & stamped benji's little footprint repeatedly on one piece of large art paper which was a speedy and efficient process, a must for having a wiggly wee one as your sidekick. then i cleaned him up and let him loose. i let the prints dry and used a paper cutter to cut them into cards. i added a simple message on each. it was fun to make valentines together, starting a tradition long before the days he and i are standing side by side in the supermarket choosing between thomas the tank engine and batman.
