Love You More

Hello!!

I'm sharing a Love/Valentine card today! These kind of cards are winding down as i start thinking about Easter and spring!! I am entering this card into 3 challenges. Penny Black Simplicity Challenge (my inspiration came from Christine's card here), Penny Black and More Challenge - Anything Goes, and Marker Pop's Valentine Challenge (i used Copic markers to color Mimi).

I started by stamping the super adorable Mimi image from Penny Black's Mimi's Love stamp set on white card stock. I colored her with Copic Markers. For the most part i fussy cut her out of the card stock, all but a strip that she is standing on. I trimmed it so its only a small strip.

Here i used Christine's card (link above) as a sketch to design the rest of my card. I found some pretty mint strip pattern paper, trimming it a bit smaller then an A2 white card base. From the same paper pad i used a black chalkboard sheet and added a strip of it to the left of my card base. I added the stripe paper to my cardbase after rounding the top right corner. 

I made sure that the strip paper was the same width as the little strip that Mimi is standing on. I added it to the stripe panel with foam dots. Christine had a few enamel dots on her card along the bottom, but i decided to spread my enamel dots out a little. I used a couple different shades of mind and adhered them to my card.

Last i had to add a sentiment. I cut a strip of white card stock and stamped the sentiment Love You More from Penny Black's So Very Much stamp set. I notched the right end, then trimmed off a little off the left side so i could staple the banner to my card. I trimmed off any over hang.

I really love how this turned out with the pink, mint and black! Thanks so much for stopping by!!
