I was finally organised enough to participate in this week's color inspiration challenge - it's been on my "want to do" list for quite some time.
I don't have any riding hood red - so I have used Real Red instead & I'm quite pleased with the result, well quite pleased that I have a surprise valentine card ready for tomorrow ;o)
I was chatting to my team mate Hannah the other day & she said that she always stamps on the inside of her cards - I had never thought of this - for dark cards I would just write with a white pen - but I quite like the idea of an extra bit of stamping on the inside of the card - so I gave it a whirl & I think I'm hooked. It gives such a lovely finish - thanks Hannah!
The blank white strip on the front of the card is screaming at me for some decoration, but I'm telling it to hush for now - I tried several ideas, but none of them panned out.
But I have ideas up my sleeve for the next time I'm faced with a loud white strip :o)
All supplies Stampin' Up!:
CS: Basic Black, Basic Grey, Real Red, Whisper White
Stamp Sets: A Happy Heart, Polka Dot Punches (Sale-A-Bration set)
Ink: Real Red, versamark
Embellishment: Bold Brights Buttons.
Thanks for looking :o)
beautiful card! I really love it
