This may sound ridiculous but I have been trying to make a card with a heart on it since Tuesday so I could enter it into the Spoon Full of Sugar Challenge http://aspoonfullofsugarchallenge.blogspot.com/ which this week is to use hearts!When I made the ruby anniversary card, I was sure that I can use hearts, I did try but it just didn't work, Then again with my Gorjuss bride, hearts did go on the card but then didn't look right so they came off again.
So this time I actually started with a stamp that had a heart in it. The stamp is Santa Rosa. I also decided to enter Papertake Weekly http://papertakeweekly.blogspot.com/ which is to use your favourite things, so I have gone for a black and red colour scheme. All my clothes are black or red, all the rooms in my house have red in them somewhere, hey I even had a red wedding dress! The papers are from the black and white "Kanban" range and the strip across the card is from "Colorbok - Nocturne" I have coloured in the roses with "Cosmic Shimmer Mist - Lava Red" also I didn't have a paper flower to match so I sprayed one with cosmic shimmer to match! and have put a "dovecraft" jeweled brad in the centre.
Finally I have used the layout from Mojo Monday http://www.mojomonday.blogspot.com/ so amazingly for someone that tends to let cards happen, I have managed to complete 3 challenges in 1 !
Absolutely stunning!!! Love everything about this,great work!

Gorgeous card Juls. I have also tried the Spoon Full of Sugar challenge but I combined mine with the Sketch & Stash challenge and the Just Magnolia challenge. I am just about to post my entry for Mojo Monday combined with Penny Black and Stamptacular Sunday. I have not come across Papertake Weekly so I must have a nosey! Kat x

ReplyDeleteI adore black and red combo. Love your card, very sophisticated. However, I've fallen in love with that stamp. I've googled on Santa Rosa to no avail. Do you have any more details?
