Take Two! Pink & Brown Valentine
Happy Friday! In celebration of Lindsey’s birthday, we decided to have a Take Two challenge in her honor! Lindsey got to choose, so since she’s in a Valentine frenzy at the moment (LOL!) that was her choice! Happy Birthday Lindsey!!! Be sure to check out Michele, Julia, and Lindsey’s blogs to see what they did for our challenge! I can’t wait to see them, either!!
Valentine Tart of Hearts
When Linz said Valentine, I immediately knew I was going to use Karen Lockhart’s new Tart of Hearts stamp! It’s also Ellen’s Stamp of the Month, so check out what Ellen has cooked up for you!
After I colored the image with my Copic markers, I cut it out and covered it with Ranger Glossy Accents. I set that aside to dry, then worked on my layout. I remembered this weeks CPS sketch, and thought it would work nicely. With pink and brown as our colors, I couldn’t wait to pull out my Basic Grey Blush paper pack! It’s been awhile since I used it, but I still LOVE it! I used a mix of the 12×12 and 6×6 papers. (the stripe and the filigree strip are from the 6×6 pad.)
I sponged some of the edges with Ranger Adirondack Espresso ink, then machine stitched the 2 panels with brown thread. I stamped the Lockhart sentiment with my SAMJ, and adhered the shiny tart on dimensionals. 
I adhered the main panel to the Prism Frosted Pink card base, then finished it off with a Basic Grey chipboard heart, brown button, and May Arts ribbon. I also added some pink Stickles on the bottom strip, as well as in the center of the flowers in the background paper.
Thanks for stopping by today ! I hope you enjoyed our challenge!
