Just B Mine

I'm still working my way through all of my new SU! stamp sets. Today's set is the new Just B. I loved the just retired All About U, so I thought that Just B might be a good replacement. I also used one of the images from one of the new sets of small background images, Sprinkles. Two new sets, one new card--not too bad!

I used today's sketch challenge on SCS for this monochromatic valentine. I inked the large "B" image in Almost Amethyst, then colored the dots with the darker Lovely Lilac marker. I used the Stamp-a-ma-jig to help place the "mine," also stamped in the darker Lovely Lilac ink. There's a matching heart brad in the bottom right corner of the image panel, filling some of the "white space."

I layered the B on mats I cut with my Nestabilities dies. At the last minute, I added a small scrap of wide white grosgrain to make a tab at the left side of the image.

To go with the dots on the B image, I used a piece of dotted paper (again from one of those never-ending Pallette of Prints paper pads). To embellish the patterned paper panel, I added a piece of lilac grosgrain ribbon along the bottom of the panel. I used a white felt heart, embellished with a lilac button, over the ribbon in the bottom right corner of the card.

I'm not sure that I'm thrilled with this one, but it works . . .
