A Valentine Challenge!

Posted By Jennifer

On my Blog, I challenged one of my friends to a Stipulation challenge.

This means that our finished project had to portray the following 5 requirements:

-Main image must be matted on a circle,

-Project must use the color pink

-It has to contain a least one heart,

-It must contain at least one button

-It can NOT have the color Red

I've been thinking these stipulations would make for a great Valentine's Day card, BUT, how do you make a Valentine's Day card without red?

Well, I've done it! I used images by DRS Designs and I wanted to share my challenge card with you. It took me a while to come up with the design--I was always reaching for something that was red, then I'd catch myself and remember that I couldn't use it.

My first step in making this card was to heat emboss the Giga Heart Circle image in white embossing powder on white cardstock. Then I used a Brayer and pink ink to "paint" around it. I used my Nesties to mat and layer this image. Next, I stamped the Silhouette Love heart image with light pink ink and used foam tape to mount it on top of the inner circle as shown to create the focal point of my card.

I created the card base from light pink cardstock and then layered it with dark pink cardstock that I ran through my Cuttlebug with the Heart Blocks Embossing Folder. I adhered the focal image to the center of the card base and then added my heart buttons to the upper left and button right corners of the card front.
