The Challenge is back from our holiday break with a new challenge and a few new team members, too!   Since it's the first week of the month, this week we've got a great sketch for you to use.  I used the sketch along with stamps and dies from Reverse Confetti for a love themed design in a classic color scheme.

Love You More card-designed by Lori Tecler/Inking Aloud-stamps and dies from Reverse ConfettiI used gray and white with pops of red and silver for my card.  The dark gray card base was edged with a strip of gray gingham patterned paper.  I replaced the sketch's large circle element with a pretty white paper doily. The "love you more" sentiment from the Crushin' stamp set was stamped directly on the center of the doily.

The banner element beneath the sentiment helps to draw your eyes to the words.  It's anchored with a pair of red hearts, adhered with foam tape for dimension.

Check out what the rest of the talented team at The Challenge has created using this week's sketch.  Don't forget to give our newest team members Broni, Jinny, and Nina a warm welcome!  Here's where to find them:

Crushin' stamp set, Confetti Cuts Tag Me and Love Note dies (Reverse Confetti); Memento Tuxedo Black ink (Tsukineko/IMAGINE Crafts); Steel Grey and Grout Gray cardstock (My Favorite Things); Real Red cardstock (Stampin' Up!); silver paper (Target); Special Delivery 6x6 paper pad (Pebbles); white paper doily; foam tape
