It's time for the next Color Hues Challenge! It's a perfect one for Valentine's Day which is just a couple of weeks away.
Initially, I thought I had the perfect set of dies to create a card for this challenge. I made it; I gave it away as an anniversary card. But I decided I didn't love it, so went back to the drawing board. This card uses one of my all-time favorite Simon Says stamp sets, "Center Cut Heart." I've used it again and again for anniversary cards and valentines, but this time I decided to use only the center cut heart, making it clearly a CAS card.
I also own the somewhat coordinating die, "Deco Heart," so after I embossed the heart in black and colored the hearts with a red Copic marker, I used the die to create the perfect red border for the heart.
I used an Ellen Hutson "Color the Strips" die to cut the three wider strips, and used my paper cutter for the thin strips at top and bottom. I added the center heart with some dimensional tape, and embossed the small sentiment in white on black cardstock with a sentiment from The Stamp Market's "Tons of Type." I like this sentiment because it works for Valentine's Day as well as an anniversary card.
Hop over to the Color Hues blog to see what the rest of the Design Team and our Guest Designer, Julie, have come up with . . . and join in the fun!
