Be Mine




I'll admit I was stumped with the Color Throwdown colors (Black, Real Red, Orchid Opulence, Passion Pink) initially, but then I worked with several different papers & finally went with the dotted swiss from Kelly Panacci's Valentine pad (K&Co) and the purple and pink from Tim Coffey's Cottage Garden pad (K&Co). The leaves were a bargain at Mike's last week. The sentiment was created by layering 2 punched ovals on top of a fancy label die. The layout is for Roxie's Sketch Challenge on SCS. It's 18 degrees on the thermometer...think I'll head back to my warm bed!
STAMPS: Love Notes (Verve)
INK: Versafine Onyx Black
ACCESSORIES: MS heart border punch, CB, Fancy labels die, Rolled Rose die (MFT), Flocked leaves, Button, Baker's twine, Oval punches (SU)
