Love - CPS Sketch 102

This is the current CPS sketch #102. I decided to play along with the urging of Nichole Heady. Not sure what ... but if Nichole says to play along then I'm there!!! The sketch gave me the opportunity to create the last valentine I need to make, one for my husband. I started out making the designer paper for the heart. On a piece of vanilla cardstock I punched the fancy square shape from Alli Miles' Wedding Day stamp set sold by Papertrey Ink. Then, I punched out a heart! I then set to work adding my other elements...a little lace, some velvet black ribbon, and buttons! Have I mentioned how much I love buttons!! Well, I do. I found 3 that went well with the colors of the card. Of course I had to add some doodling around the red cardstock panel and the heart itself. It just makes an element feel "finished" to me...a bit of a signature element I guess.

Finished the card off with a lovely sentiment - "All things grow with love". I really like how the font for the word love is different. It really makes it stand out!! Supplies: Stamps-Wedding Day, Garden of Life (Papertrey Ink); Ink-Cranberry Crisp, Basic Black (Stampin' Up!); Paper-Very Vanilla, Cranberry Crisp(Stampin' Up!); Other-heart punch (Marvy), cream flat cluny edge or lace (Wrights), black velvet ribbon (Michaels), black marker (Zig), buttons (various from my stash), black thread. Thanks for dropping in again tonight!! Donelda
