This is my card for CC618. Roberta is our hostess and she has chosen rose red, basic gray and very vanilla as her color palette. Dessert option this week is a valentine.
I used this weekÂ’s Mojo480 sketch for my card layout. I think the sketch shows off the elements of the card without covering anything up.
My background dsp is from the long retired StampinÂ’-Up Holiday Harmony collection. ItÂ’s a Christmas dsp but it had one of the colors I was using on my card. ItÂ’s actually purely pomegranate which is a twin sister to rose red.
I used basic gray satin ribbon for the angled panel in the sketch. On the sketch square panel, I embossed with a hearts folder from Darice. The rectangle panel I used for my sentiment and that allowed me to get the very vanilla covered.
The sentiment is from the Verve “Hundred Hearts” set and stamped in purely pomegranate ink. I love this sentiment from Winnie the Pooh (lol)!
I finished off my card by scattering a few hearts. The top left heart is a new Valentine die from CottageCutz - “fancy heart”. The other hearts are cut from CottageCutz dies as well.
ThatÂ’s it for me for this week. I hope you can play along with us. This is RobertaÂ’s first run as a CC hostess and she picked such lovely colors. You can also check out our color challenge Pinterest board here.
