Good morning and thank you for visiting me today. Today's Stampin' Up! Only Challenge is Valentine's Day Colors x2. I chose Cherry Cobbler and Blushing Bride. I do wish I had cut out Cupid because it really would have added extra dimension to the card, so to "substitute" for that, I put the image and sentiment panel on Stampin' Dimensionals. I think that if a spray or two less of the Blushing Bride Smooch Spritz would have sufficed just fine, yet concentrated more over the masking so that the Twitterpatter Designer Series Paper would have shown through more would have balanced the card out a bit more. Overall, this was a very simple card to do and I recycled the hearts that I used to mask for the inside of the card!
I hope that you are inspired by this clean and simple Valentine's Day card and God bless you. Have a wonderful day!
- Cut Cherry Cobbler card stock to A2 size so that the crease is at the top.
