Pretty in Pink...and Red and Watermelon

#stampinup   Yay! I'm so excited that the Fab Friday challenge blog is back! The creative team takes a well deserved break right after Christmas and I miss them so much when they're gone. The Fab Friday challenge is the reason I started my little blog--I wanted to play along with the design team. And then I decided that I was going to blog every weekday--and here I am! I've pretty much kept up with my goal--and it all started with the Fab Friday challenge. Thanks for the inspiration, you guys!!

 This time the Fab Friday challenge is a great for Valentine's Day color challenge.

 
As soon as I saw these colors, I reached for the "Work of Art" stamp set. I knew this would be a great set for a clean and simple design.

I started with a Whisper White Thick Card Stock card base, cut lengthwise. I used Stampin' Dimensionals to add a Real Red mat. I like the way this layer pops off the card base.

Next, I got to work with my stamped image. I stamped a "swoop" from the "Work of Art" stamp set in Blushing Bride near the bottom right corner of a Whisper White panel. Then I added a Watermelon Wonder "swoop" right next to it. 

 I stamped "you" in Watermelon Wonder in the bottom corner under the "swoops" and the heart right next to "you." But I didn't like how flat the heart looked, so I stamped the heart again in Watermelon Wonder onto a Whisper White scrap and fussy cut it. I coiled some Gold Metallic Thread and adhered the cut heart on top with a Stampin' Dimensional.

 Finally, I added several sequins from the Blushing Bride Sequin Trim using the Fine-Tip Glue Pen. I think this card is really sweet--and I'm so pleased how it turned out--just how I envisioned it!

    I am so glad you decided to start blogging to share your creations! The CAS style of this card is spot on! I don't think you can go wrong with a lot of white to balance out these brighter colors! Thanks for sharing at Fab Friday!!

    Hi Kathy,
    We couldn't be more honored that you began blogging years ago because of our challenge. I love the clean crisp lines of your card and the way the message is highlighted by the simplicity. And of course I love the loops of thread too! SO pretty. Thanks for playing at Fab Friday.
