Colorful Valentine

Hello Friends! It's the 2nd Tuesday of the new year, and my 2nd splitcoaststamper color challenge! WooHoo!! I'm on a roll! This week's color challenge was posted late last night, so I had time to think about it. Nonetheless, I ended up with something COMPLETELY different in my final project!! LOL! The colors this week are blushing bride, riding hood red, and baja breeze...how fun is that? I decided to make a Valentine. It also fits the theme challenge over at the Paper Players challenge: All You Need is Love. (I am singing that Beatles song right now!)



I started with a blushing bride card base. I used the Stampin' Up set "You are Loved" for this fun image, coloring it with my markers in the challenge colors plus pear pizzazz, stamping it on to very vanilla that was cut out with the top note die. My lower panel is baja breeze, embossed with the elegant lines impressions folder in my Big Shot. These layers are popped up with dimensionals. I used my heart punch, as well as the heart-to-heart punch to add some detail. My hearts are in riding hood red and some retired blushing bride dsp, all embossed with elegant lines. Finally, I added both blushing bride ribbon in the middle of the card and baja breeze seam binding at the top.

Inside, I added some more hearts and this wonderful sentiment from the same stamp set "You are Loved." I already know who is getting this card...but shucks, I have to wait almost a month to mail it! Hope I don't forget!



Thanks for stopping by! Wonder if I can make it three weeks in a row... come by next week to find out!!
