Another inspiration challenge from Kristina Werner's Blog. The colors are Riding Hood Red, Sahara Sand (0r a metallic), very vanilla, and whisper white. I haven't done a challenge in a while but I needed to make a card for my in-laws 43rd wedding anniversary so I figured I could do a challenge and accomplish their card at the same time.
This was um...challenging...mixing white with vanilla. I almost gave up! I coated the inside of a cuttlebug folder with Stampin Up Craft White and then ran it through with a piece of Riding Hood Red. The large scalloped shape was made with a Stampin Up Sizzix diecut. Used my Slice to make the heart, the label, and the "love". I put some Stickles on the "love" because it just looked too bland. I wanted to chalk it, but couldn't find my chalks! Looking back I could have made another "love" in a larger size and a different color to put under the original love.
The large bird is a stamp from "Stampabilities" that I got from Hobby Lobby Last week. I used Versamark ink to stamp it and then added some Martha Stewart glitter. Also added some preservative spray to keep it together. Also added some Stickles to the large heart diecut.

Embossing Folder: Cuttlebug Houndstooth
Patterned Paper: Jenni Bowlin
