C4C470: Forever and a Day

It's my second week being a guest designer for the 

Crazy4challenges Blog.

This week the challenge is to make a Valentine.

Here is the card I made for today's challenge.

All the supplies are from The Stamps of Life.

I used the Limited Edition Heart Background and the Love Statement Set.

Here is another look at the front of my Valentine.

Key to my heart

Happy Valentine's Day!

This is not a holiday that hubby and I participate in.  I think its a made up Hallmark holiday and has a lot of unreasonable pressure tied to it!

However, since many people do celebrate it I thought I would share this card for the holiday!

I created the background with the new Mini Chevron Background Die.

This looks so cool in real life!

In addition to the new cool background die, I used stamps from the Heartlocket2love stamp set.

Whether you celebrate Valentine's Day or not I wish you a very special day filled with love!

Paper Clip Heart.

This adorable image will make it easy to create super cute cards.

I colored this image with Prisma colored pencils and blended with gamsol and blending stumps.

Another Sneak Peek

Did you order your new tree stamps yet? If not I don’t know how you resisted but if those beautiful images weren’t enough to get you over to the CHF site, then hang on to your PC! CHF has another awesome line of stamps being released next week. I will tell you more about our new designer and her stamp line later….I know…I’m such a tease! But for now, I’ll just give you a sneak peek at a card I made using stamps from this new line.

Isn’t that script GORGEOUS??? I just love it! This is a pretty basic card for me. Those of you who follow my blog know that I am a girl who really likes my layers but I am trying to branch out into different styles. What do you think?

I’ll be back tomorrow with another sneak peek!
