Be Mine

Here's a quick card for today's SCS featured stamper challenge. It's based on this Valentine's Day card. I knew I could create my own version with some of the new releases from Clear and Simple Stamps.

I used a combination of images from the new Shapes: Hearts and Hearts Plus sets to create the image panel. With the help of coordinating die cuts for masking and dimension, the panel came together in no time at all. I stamped the "be mine" sentiment from the Critters Sentiments set in the lower left corner, then added a spiral clip in the right corner before matting the panel on gray cardstock.

The image panel is set on a red card base with a textured bottom half. To hide the indention made by the texture plate, I knotted a piece of black satin ribbon around the card base before attaching the image panel. I think this one is a nice masculine-looking Valentine's Day design--and those can be hard to come by!
