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.

Winnie the Pooh always knows just what to say! You have so many pretty hearts on your Valentine, Mary! The satin ribbon adds class....your texture is so pretty~

Very classy looking card Mary!! Love the dark pink with that gray. Could be an invitation from the Capital it is so sophisticated looking! Of course they don't have warm enough hearts to think of Winnie the Pooh....too bad too! He is my all time favorite!
