Cloud9 February 2013 Blog Hop






I have a card for this month's Cloud9 blog hop, and I am following the sketch from the Cards blog challenge.  They have teamed up, and both challenges have fabulous WPlus9 prizes this month.







I was inspired by the kraft and red in the inspiration photo, the stripes, and the hearts.   For the sketch, I was inspired by the square shape, the curved edges of the mat, and the design around the centered focal point.  I really love my WPlus9 Valentine stamps, so this was a pretty easy one for me.  I went CAS, because, well, that is me, and I was also short on time.



Supplies Used:
Stamps:  WPlus9 Love You More and A Pocketful: Valentine
Paper:  PTI Kraft, Pure Poppy Patterned
Ink:  SU Real Red
Other:  Spellbinders Postage die, Lil Inkers Stitched Squares


Thanks for Visiting

  9. You had me at the close up Joyce! I love that I can see all that shiny embossing that is always so rich and expensive looking and makes you just want to run your finger across it! Everything is stamped perfectly - getting those corners right would have been the end of me!
