I decided to use a lot of my leftover strips of cardstock to make another valentine, so I dug out my Martha Stewart heart border punch and just got busy! I used an assortment of reds, pinks, black and grey cardstock, and just layered them on top of each other - starting at the bottom and working my way up. I added some wide black ribbon, and tucked a little tag underneath it that was done with a retired SU! image and retired SU! punches.
I'm sharing this over at the Snippets Playground #211 - which is to always use your snippets.
Thanks for checking in, and have yourself a fabulous Monday!

Wonderful use of the MS punch. Love the ombre look and that little tag is darling. Hope you have a fun day.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully staggered borders! That makes the perfect Valentine card front.
ReplyDeleteHi Carol, This is beautiful. What lovely colours and a super punch. It would go well in the current Crafting for all Seasons Challenge which is monochrome. Barbxx
ReplyDeleteFabulous idea Carol! And for once I don't need to run out and buy anything as I actually have that wonderful punch :)

What a lovely card. I love that ombre look (or whatever the kids are calling it these day). I have a friend who always doubles or triples up on this border stamp. So cool!
