The Paper Player's Valentine's Challenge #179

Hello my Stampin' Friends!

I have another Valentine's card for you today.  This time I decided to participate in The Paper Player's Challenge #179 and this one is WAY outside of my comfort zone - a one layer card!  What!  I have never attempted that before.  But hey, that's what challenges are all about...aren't they?

I decided on the Chalkboard look.  But I have to confess I did add a little, but only a little, extra detail.  I used some ribbon and 3 tiny little Cherry Cobbler hearts....I just couldn't resist.

I am loving the 'hand drawn' looking hearts from the Hearts a Flutter Stamp Set.  I thought that they would look great in 'chalk'!  I also used the Yippee-Skippee Stamp Set for the sentiment.  I thought that worked well in 'Chalk' too.

Here is my card........

Here is a close up of the chalk effect.  I did this using the Whsiper White Craft Ink and a sponge.

I love adding some detail to the inside of my cards.  There is that heart again - LOVE it!

Well, what do you think?  I'd love to hear.

The supplies I used are...........

Basic Black Cardstock

Whisper White Cardstock

Cherry Cobbler Cardstock

Whisper White Craft Ink

Cherry Cobbler Ink

Hearts a Flutter Stamp Set

Yippee-Skippee Stamp Set

Chalk Marker from the Holiday Catalogue

Happy Stampin'

Friday Mashup Valentine's Style! FM143

Well, hi there!

Thank you for stopping by!  I have started on my valentine's day cards early this year and what better way to get the old creative juices flowing, other than to participate in a great challenge!

Over at the The Friday Mashup, they had a really great picture to do just that.   Be sure to stop over and see all of the great projects people have created, simply by using the challenge!

The picture inspired me to create a bit of a rustic looking card - I have been waiting for a great opportunity to use my burlap ribbon and this was it - honestly, I don't know what I was waiting for it is amazing!

The challenge asked for hearts and arrows, but I didn't have any arrows, so I settled for just hearts and I just love the 'hand drawn' look of this one from the Hearts a Flutter set - thought it fit the rustic theme perfectly

Here is my card.  Let me know what you think!
