This week, Mae's challenge is to "Just Add Red and White", keeping in mind that Valentine's Day is upon us. I don't subscribe much to the lovey-dovey Valentine stuff, but do like to make cards for friends who mean a lot to me (to give year round). As I lay in bed last night, I envisaged exactly what I wanted to make, so it came together very quickly this afternoon.
I'd bought Stampin' Up!'s Scalloped Heart of Hearts embosslits die, but hadn't yet used it. It was PERFECT for the card I had in mind.
I had a hard time photographing my card, because we have really high winds in Melbourne this afternoon. It's hot, humid, and there are reports of lots of little scrub fires around the suburbs. Thankfully, no fires around here, but the wind is extreme. I ducked outside, quickly snapped a photo of my card (in not-great light), and came back in to the airconditioned comfort of the house!
My card is simple, but I love it. I think it beautifully showcases all the 'bits and pieces' that Stampin' Up! has in one colour (in this case, Real Red).
