Papertrey Ink Valentine card for Casology challenge



Hello everyone, and a very warm welcome to new followers, Anne, of Wicked Designs Blog (my talented Teamie at the Holly Jolly Christmas Challenge), and Babyboo, of Babyboo Mini Lab.

I wanted to join in the challenge over at CASOLOGY this week,

The cue card this time is CONTRAST, so I decided to make a plain white card and add a strip of red to provide the contrast.




I used one of the PTI Confetti Garland Border dies but I kept the red aperture shape and cut it out again in white card for the centre. I impressed the white hearts with the canvas impression plate to add some texture,



and I also impressed the focal panel with the other side of the impression plate - love that thing!
The sentiment came from PTI Think Big Favorites 23 and I also used Lil' Inker Designs Stitched Rectangles.

I'd also like to enter this into the Addicted to Stamps and More challenge which is CAS this week.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you are having a good week.

Hugs
Carol x

This is a beautiful valentine card. Gosh, I looked through your blog and you make the most wonderful CAS cards.
Thank you for the sweet comment on my shabby chic. I don't make many of those type cards but I do love them. An expert,
I'm not, but maybe practice will help.

This is so striking. I love how you have the red against the white and then added the texture. Perfect example of CAS and contrast. Thank you so much for playing along at CASology this week.
