Although this card should have taken 15 minutes TOPS, I couldn't decide on colors. Really? It's a frickin' card base, mat and die cut. What's WRONG with me!?! The Outlawz CAS challenge calls for a "romantic theme" and I'm sort of Valentine'd out so I used my adorable new Die-versions Lovely Kids die and made a card that could be an anniversary card or just a sweet "I love you". The embossing folder is an old Quickutz and the sentiment is computer generated. I originally started with a black silhouette but it seemed too harsh. I switched to kraft but it didn't look right with the white. Changed the mat to cream and then couldn't decide on a base until I found some long lost burlap cards so there ya go. I kind of like the added texture.
I'm adding this to the DL.Art February Linky challenge, Simon Says Wednesday AG and Lil Patch of Crafty Friends #52 AG.

very nice card!
ReplyDeleteI hate when that happens. I've lost so much paper that way - just winds up in the trash. Your final product is very pretty, though, you finally got there! Love the little embossing that seems to hug the couple.
