Today the challenge is to create a project using one of the 5 sketches that Nichole has created. I needed to make some 2 Valentine's Day cards for my daughters, one who will be 9 this month on the 17th (man, how time flies by!) and another for my 6 year old. I didn't want to do anything too childish for my almost-9 year old, and I wanted to do something with a lot of color.
I chose this sketch to start my card:
This is the card I created to give to my oldest daughter this year for Valentine's Day:
Using Papertrey Ink's Super Stars Border die collection, I cut out 1 strip each of stars in red, orange, yellow, blue, and green. I used some glue to adhere them to my card the same way as the sketch. I used the Tremendous Treats Valentine stamp set along with the matching dies to cut out and stamp the paper and pencil image. I used my Prismacolor markers in the same colors to color in the images. I wanted the images to stand out against the stars on the front of the card, so I outlined each one with black marker, and adhered them to the card as well. The sentiment is from the Tiny Treats Valentine Stamp set. I used black cardstock for my card base. For the inside of the card, I used the "be my valentine" stamp for the sentiment, and then stamped the little hearts in matching colors.
I have to say I really, really, really love this card! I love all the color with the black card base, I cannot wait to give this one to my daughter! Thanks for stopping by, have a great night!
