Here's my card for the
OWH Stars & Stamps mid-week throwdown challenge to make a love & hugs card. I used a retired SU! set for the hearts, and a G studio stamp for the sentiment. The punched border was done with an EK bricked punch, and the red edge was a left-over negative piece from die cutting a scalloped border. It just looked good on the edge and rather than toss it in the trash can, I added it to the card. The finishing touch was a red gemstone.
Thanks for stopping by today and I wish you a great week ahead!

I love how you used that scalloped border. What a wonderful card with lots of details.
ReplyDeleteLovely, Carol!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you didn't throw that piece in the trash. It finished off this beautiful card in just the right way. I just used that same SU set the other day for a card. I like it more now than when I got it. The brickwork is really nice and also adds quite a bit to this card. A job well done my friend.
ReplyDeleteVery nice card! The black white and red colors are so classic!
ReplyDeleteOh someone's sweetie is going to love getting this cute card. Love how you tied the ribbon on the hearts and the red and white theme.
ReplyDeleteReally nice, Carol.

Love this card! Some day, I hope to find some time to create...now I just want to get my shopping done and find time to rest and relax.
ReplyDeleteToday, I'm missing the kids something awful...very melancholy day! I guess that's from listening to Christmas tunes on my iPad!
Beautiful card. I like how you used your scrap scalloped edge -- good thinking. I also like how you used the brick punch strip behind the hearts.
