The Only One For Me–C4C #172

Hi, everyone, it’s Crazy 4 Challenges time! Today Joanne is challenging us to make a card with hearts on it with NO red or pink! Here’s the challenge in her words: “It will soon be Valentine’s Day, and February is American Heart Month, so let’s make cards with hearts on them with a color twist of no red or pink on the cards.” Fun stuff, right?

I had to wrack my brain a bit but I came up with something I really love! I’d been wanting to try the all-the-rage chalkboard technique so I thought this was a perfect time to do it :)

So, first I stamped the sentiment, from Lovey Dovey Sentiments, with Versamark ink and heat embossed with white detail embossing powder on Black Licorice card stock. Then I doodled a bit with a white Prismacolor pencil, layered it on Kraft card stock, and popped it up on foam dots. Under that you can see a Black Licorice layer that was embossed with a heart embossing folder and swiped with a white pigment ink pad, then bordered with a Die-namics Layered Heart Border using Kraft card stock and Black Licorice card stock. I finished it off with a Blu Raspberry button and some hemp cord, and a few aqua Dew Drops.

Here’s the inside with another sentiment from the set. The center strip was stamped with Sno Cone ink and the rest with Black Licorice ink. To do this, I stamped the center first, then went back with the black for the top and bottom parts.



And that's it! Be sure to check out what the rest of the design team has for you!
