Take It to Heart with Monkey Challenge 93: Love!


Love is in the air! I love this image from the Take It to Heart stamp set in the Occasions Mini. I stamped it in Calypso Coral ink, sponged it with Pool Party ink, and punched it out with the 1-1/4" circle punch, layering it on a 1-3/8" circle of Early Espresso, which is then layered on two Blossom punched flowers.


I'm crazy about the Everyday Enchantment dsp in the Sale-a-Bration Mini Catalog. This is just one of the fabulous patterned pieces, and best of all, you may choose it for FREE with a $50 order! Free is always the right price!!! I love those little Calypso Coral Baker's Twine bows too.


This close-up shows the embossed little hearts on the pennants, which were punched. Aren't they cute? To create this entire card, I used the A La Card Monkey Challenge #93: Love! + Sketch. I'm also adding this to Princess Shirley's Valentine Blog Hop! Now check to see Shirley's rockin' card here.


Anyone can join the fun, here is all you have to do.
1. Anything goes - It can be a card,  or 3D project. It just has to be a Valentine.
2. Add the Hop to your Post, by using the code from Linky tools.
3. Add the cupid badge to your post with a link to Shirley's blog.
4. It has to be a new post.


Here's the sketch I used. I love that little kitty's face! It's the best. I hope you'll take time out to make a card using this sketch, then upload it to http://alacardmonkey.blogspot.com and to Shirley's blog hop. I promised I'll drop by your blog to leave a nice comment!

Your hearts embossed on the pennants is super cute. I love the way you used this image in a circle...and as a centre of the flower. Lovely.
