Love you.......

Love you


I finally found some inspiration and time to make a card for the current Hero Arts monthly challenge. I happened to come across this cute "love you" stamp by Stampin Up while rummaging through my assorted Valentines stamps and decided to only stamp the sentiment portion and use a  much bigger butterfly from Hero Arts Antique Engraving set.


I just happened to have some turquoise paper laying on my desk and thought I'll just use that as a starting color......then found the lime green ribbon in my stash.I stamped the Hero Arts classic fabric BG using tumbled glass distress ink, and colored the butterfly using Prismacolor markers and added some glittery shine on the lime green sections of the butterfly using my Spica glitter pen. Stamped the old letter writing in just black......and assembled the card using some Spellbinders die cut shapes.

 It kind of seems as though the card needs a little something else......maybe a few turquoise pearls or a little heart somewhere......what do you think? I'll be giving this to my hubby for Valentine's Day- I hope it's not to girly looking.

 

I don't know about you but I'll be watching a bit of the Superbowl later tonight- I'm not much of  a football fan but I better cheer on the GREEN BAY "PACKERS"  seeing I'm a cheesehead!! 

Thanks for stopping by, love getting back in the groove and get creating again. 


Inky Hugs, Anne
