One last quick card for Barbles Challenge #2 before the deadline in {eek!} 24 minutes!!
I was inspired by the angles and divisions in Barb's Bird on a Wire photo--this screamed "sketch" to me, so that's where I went with it.
And because I need more Valentines, I wanted to go in a different direction for colors. After seeing today's Tuesday Trigger photo over in the Moxie Fab world, I was no longer at a loss!
Isn't that the most luscious photo? I need one of those {right} now!! I was inspired color-wise by the "kraft" colored nougat, the chocolate cake, and the bright pink frosting. I also zeroed in on and mimicked the arrangement of the layers and frosting--and had to incorporate those pretty nonpareils in my design by adding in some teensy pearls. :)
I used some of my favorite Valentine stamps by DeNami Design: Small Scallop Heart and the "Be Mine" sentiment from the Love Sentiments stamp set. For papers I used some old SU Valentine DSP and some kraft basics from BasicGrey. And, of course, I had to add stitching!!
Because this is a Valentine, I'm entering it in the Paper Sundaes Valentine Challenge. And it certainly fits the Anything Goes Challenge ending shortly over at Simon Says Stamp Challenge.
Thanks for stopping by!
