Happy Valentine's Day everyone! I pulled together a sweet, non-traditional colors card today for my dear in-laws.
This was so much fun to make. I pulled out one of my
bazillion several 6"x6" paper pads and found some cute papers to play with.The fun part about staying within one paper pad is that the patterns & colors are guaranteed to match! I inked up the tickets from Unity Stamp Co. in Espresso Truffle (Memento) and got stamping. To finish them off I fussy-cut the little cuties out and added some glitter with my Spica pens; pink and red hearts and then some clear over the lips in the last one.
I 'pinned' them to the card with some silver heart confetti from my Pretty Pink Post
horde collection, which proved to be excellent practice for my tweezer-using skills. No, really, they're getting better!
The blue floral got layered with my favorite deep chocolate card stock and placed onto the white card base. Some white mini-pom pom trim finished off the top of the card and is just CUTE. I was going to end there, but realized the bottom was waaaaaaay too plain. I dug through my stamps until I found the 'love' one as part of a Unity set. Some sequins to draw the eye and done!
Have you been playing with non-traditional colors? I'd love to hear about it in the comments!
