I dug this embossed pink heart out of my scrap drawer. It's probably been in there a couple of years! When I saw this sketch, for some reason I remembered it was there and decided to use it for my card. The first challenge for The Card Concept was to use a kraft, pink, vanilla, and espresso color combo. So pretty!
My card base is Early Espresso cardstock with a layer of Pink Pirouette. I stamped my sentiment using Early Espresso ink in the lower right corner. I used the generational stamping technique to add text to my Vintage Cream layer and deliberately made it uneven. Not splotchy, but some parts of the text are darker than others. I mounted the panel on Early Espresso and then adhered to the card at an angle like the sketch, trimming off the excess.
I cut a flag banner out of burlap fabric, glued it in place, and then put the pink heart over top. With the sentiment I chose, this could be a thank you card as well as a Valentine's Day card. Sweet and simple. :)

ReplyDeleteStunning clean & layered design! The texture of the burlap in contrast with the soft pink color is striking! The sentiment, so sweetly tucked in the corner, sends a lovely message to the recipient without detracting from the main elements of your card!
