A quick post before heading off to work with a clean and simple masculine valentine! I knew I wanted to incorporate this heart border Die-Namics die by MFT, so went with some inlaid pieces of Cherry Cobbler CS against the black outline.
I used the Colour Q Challenge colors (red, black, newsprint and a neutral) and paired it with the SCS Sketch Challenge. The
patterned paper was perfect since newsprint was part of the houndstooth design (from My Mind's Eye "Filled With Love" 6x6 pad). I black embossed the
The vertical strip is a piece of vellum with torn edges. The shiny gold sequin heart doesn't show up well in the photo, but I wanted a wee bit of added sparkle and shine! To add some texture, I looped some red jute twine behind the popped sentiment circle. The finished card is 4 3/4" square.
Have a blessed day and thanks for popping in...
Love the dramatic colors, Wanda, and what a great take on the sketch...this is a beautiful Valentine!!!
