Paper Sweeties Inspiration Challenge - February 2017

Hello everyone! Today is a very exciting day - for 2 reasons....I get to announce that I am now a part of the amazing Paper Sweeties Design Team! EEEEK! Thank you, Debbie, for this opportunity to share your phenomenal PS products and work (play) with this amazing Design Team...I am so honored! 

And secondly, today marks the beginning of another month-long challenge where you could win a $25 gift certificate to the Paper Sweeties shop. Be sure to stop by Paper Sweeties to get some inspiration on their wonderful blog and in their gallery, do some shopping, and then come play along with us in this month's challenge.  Here is February's wonderful inspiration photo:


The challenges over at Paper Sweeties are always ANYTHING GOES with the inspiration photo as your jump-off point. So you can use the colors, shapes, or theme to help you create your project. Here's the card I made using the "love" theme, and I pulled reds out of the picture too:


I used the striped pattern out of the Merry and Bright pattern paper as my background then used the With Love and Sweet Borders Sweet Cuts dies to create my card. I stamped the banner from the Hello Friend stamp set in black then added the 'Love you Much' sentiment in red and fussy cut that out and popped it up with some foam squares for some dimension....added some yummy seam binding and strawberry sequins and wa-laa! A super cute Valentine's card! All products used are linked at the bottom of this post :)


Please be sure to check out what the rest of my Paper Sweeties team mates have created for you - sooo much amazing talent - then be sure to come play with us!
