JAI #250: STAMPIN' UP! GROOVY LOVE BIRTHDAY CARD

Trish has come up with these sweet inspiration pics for this week's challenge at Just Add Ink:

 

 

No doubt lots of you have Valentine's Day on your mind, but I don't!  I'm a bit "Valentine's Schmalentine's" ... not for lack of trying on my part, it's a non-event in our household ( I do persist in giving all three of my boys cards).  So, I have used cute pink polka-dot hearts on a birthday card instead.

 

 

 

 

I am rather in love with the glossy black heart (close-up below), created by punching a little heart from Basic Black cardstock, and covering it with an epoxy sticker:

 

 

 

 

In the table below are all the Stampin' Up! products used to make this card; you'll be taken direct to my online store if you click on an image.

 

Make sure you check out the rest of the Just Add Ink Design Team's creations, and link up your own project for us to see!
