Hello! There are so many awesome card making challenges out there, and not enough time in a day, so I’ve combined four challenges into one card for today’s post. I do have to say that as I was creating it, I had a mental picture in my head of how the finished card would look… and then when I finished the actual card, I looked at it and thought, “meh”, because it didn’t quite turn out as nicely as my mental picture card. Oh well.
Anyway… I’ve used this week’s sketch from CAS Colours & Sketches with the color scheme from Color Hues. The themes from The Paper Players and Addicted to CAS are similar enough to work together. I stamped a filigree design on a scrap of textured red cardstock and die cut the hearts from it. I stamped the sentiment on a scrap strip of cardstock and trimmed the ends into a banner shape. The small heart and the banner are attached with dimensional adhesive in an attempt to keep them from blending into the large hearts and white background. I added a narrow mat to the focal panel to give an extra pop of black for the color scheme.
The CC&S sketch challenge is open until 6:00 p.m. Eastern U.S. time Monday, February 14, and we’d love to have you join in! Thanks for stopping by today.
