Art Pin Spin

Reader Submission for the Pinstrosiversary Challenge:
Being newly married and (thus) poor, my husband and I are always looking for really cheap date night ideas.  One thing we’ve been doing together lately is painting with watercolors.  I already had the paints from a college class I took years ago, a small pack of brushes was only about $5, and Santa was nice enough to get us both Watercolor paper pads for Christmas! 

I wanted to do something Valentines Day-ish, but wanted something cooler than just hearts all over my husband’s name.  So I drew from my Pinterest craft board:  I used this picture (created by LightandSpoon over on Etsy http://www.etsy.com/shop/lightandspoon?ref=exp_listing)mbut which no longer is for sale) 

And this picture I took the other day on my phone:

 And created This:

It’s nothing special really…  My 4^th grade art skills really aren’t anything to brag about!  But it was nice to create something that didn’t exist before, and to spend time with my husband.
