St. Valentine's Day
This card was made for a family member and was inspired by Color My Heart Color Dare Challenge #275. This is the first card I have made since becoming a member of the Design Team. I won a stamp set from a challenge in the UK and wanted to use two of the flowers and the leaves from that set.
Please consider joining in our challenges. They are posted weekly but each one runs for two weeks. We offer plenty of inspiration, a wide variety of color options and there is even a monthly prize!
This challenge's colors are Bashful, Fern and Heather with the option of adding Gold. I used white as my neutral choice. The flowers were heat embossed in white and the sentiment was stamped in Charcoal ink (because I don't have the Heather ink yet) onto a trimmed down rectangle with die cut scalloped edges. The panel with the sentiment was adhered using foam tape. The inside was decorated with the same roses only in Bashful ink rather than white embossing powder.

Those flowers and leaves are so dainty and gentle. They fit perfectly with the scalloped white piece with the faux stitching. This is beautiful - well designed and very pretty. So glad to have you as part of the Colour Dare Design Team :)
