Love You Forever

This card is doing double duty today. It's my PTI Color Challenge card and my Valentine's Day card to my husband. The challenge was to try out a new color combination inspired by Dawn McVey, but my own personal challenge was to make a somewhat masculine card for the occasion.




Okay, so the polka dots are for me, but the rest I think would be considered somewhat masculine, right? Not too many hearts, no flowers, not a lot of fluff here. And I tell you, sometimes those kinds of cards are the hardest to make! My favorite part are the score lines. It's simple and functional - it really helped me line up those polka dots!


Happy Valentine's Day to you all! And thanks to my husband who is a patient, understanding man who indulges me with whatever makes me happy. In other words...he doesn't mind if we stay home on Valentine's Day so his wife can obsess over the newest PTI releases! See you there...








Stamps: Heart Prints, Polka Dot Basics (PTI)
Ink: Dark Chocolate, Fresh Snow (PTI)
Cardstock: Dark Chocolate, Lemon Tart, SS White, Aqua Mist (PTI)
Tools: Cuttlebug (ProvoCraft), Tiny Tags die for Cuttlebug (ProvoCraft)
Ribbon: Dark Chocolate satin (PTI)
Other: white glitter heart button

That was my second choice color combo, I went with the same one but with red too that she had in the same post. Love it!
