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!!

  1. Dana, you've done it! You've officially added new definitions to 'cute and adorable' with this sweet card! Your Mimi is a delight, dressed in her charming heart-patterned dress (your colouring...in awe), and you've certainly given her center stage in the background and placement you've chosen. Ultra wonderful, my friend!
