Blogger Challenge: Week 190

This week's blogger challenge theme is love. Here’s my love-themed card for this week’s challenge. It's a little un-traditional, but I think it still works. I used an image from the Moonlight Whispers line from Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps and lots of red to fit with this week's "seeing red" challenge on the company's blog.

Drucilla and her “friend” are colored with Copic markers. I added a little sparkle to the barrettes in her hair with some Stickles, then carefully cut out the colored image.

I used simple rectangle layers for the rest of the card. I chose a patterned paper with hearts and swirly lines to go behind the image, then matted that panel on a soft pink one. I machine stitched around the edges of the pink panel before attaching it to the red card base. The image is attached with some foam tape. I stamped the sentiment from the Valentine Willard set (omitting one of the “e’s” from the word “bee”) on a red strip and attached that underneath Drucilla’s feet. A felt heart with a red button sits at the opposite end of the strip.
