Yep, inspired, I didn't exactly end up using the Card Patterns' sketch this week. I had one of those I can't get this idea out of my head kind of moments and then finally (fortunately) admitted defeat :>)
The mixer and sentiment are new images from
Amber Ink. Fun puns for every occasion. I used a digi, but most of the Amber Ink images are available in clear stamps too. This is the perfect type of Valentine's Day card for a "guy" ;>) Simple with just a bit of stitching.
My card is for the following challenges:
Paper Sundaes - Valentines
Tuesday Throwdown - Stitching
Sometimes less is more and believe me that was definitely the case with this card. I figured I might as well share the "hot mess" I started out with. (Thanks Allison for reminding me of the phrase "hot mess"!)
LOL!!! Thank goodness I gave up on it! I will say I do like the hearts though so I am going to have to figure out a way to use 'em.
Yay, it's Friday!!! Let's keep our fingers crossed for a weekend without snow
.
Smiles,
Julie
