CC26

Hey, everyone!

Stacy over at Paper Wings has posted a new Color Combo Challenge this week. The colors are Grey, Black, Red, & White. "For this weeks challenge you can apply the colors through your cardstock choices, embellishments, and/or color mediums just be sure to use all four colors... and only these four colors. You may stamp your image using black ink."

This was a fun challenge for me and I was happy to get away from the monochromatic pink that I had been using so much of. I thought of "love" since we're so close to Valentine's Day and I wanted to come up with a really romantic card. So, here is what I came up with:
My black card base measures 4¼" x 5½" when folded. The black and white paper already had adhesive on the back. I cut it down to 4" x 5¼". I put a red eyelet "LIPS" in the lower right hand corner with my Crop-A-Dile. The red slim panel measures 1½" x 5½" and the shimmery grey strip measures 1¼" x 5½". The wide red panel measures 4¾" x 2¾" and I set 3 white eyelets down the side using my CAD. The white panel measures 2½" x 4" and I stamped "LOVE" using L'Amour Red Hybrid Palette Ink and my Scripty Bet stamp set. The letters are covered with Prisma Glitter, also, for a little bit of shimmer!

I hope you like my card. Today's my daughter's Valentine party at school so I am eager to share her Valentine's with you all tomorrow! Have a great day!

such a gorgeous card. I know it sounds daft, but I always struggle with alphabet sets - I can never think of the right word, but you've done an excellent job here - love it!!
