Hello and Happy Tuesday! In my continuing effort to stamp more and participate in blog challenges, I created yet another fun Valentine's Day card featuring the Love Cats stamp set. I think this one will be perfect for my son.... which one in my series has been your favorite? (See them here, here and here)
The first blog challenge I participated in for today's project is the Inkspirational Challenges blog. This is a bi-weekly challenge blog. They chose the mood board above as inspiration for Challenge #282. I used the layout as well as the color palette as inspiration for my card.
The second blog challenge I selected to participate in is from Make My Monday Challenge blog. This is a weekly challenge blog and this week's Challenge #193 theme is "Love is in the Air", perfect for this Valentine's Day card!
So how do you think I did? I wanted to incorporate all three kitty images for this card and managed to just pull it off with this layout. The colors include early espresso (card base and cats) along with real red (card stock mat, colored hearts and sentiment ink) as well as sweet sorbet from the DSP panels. The sweet sorbet comes off as pink-ish, but not too pink for this more masculine card.
I have had several requests for the dimensions for this card so please find them below:
Base card: Early Espresso CS 11" x 4-1/4", scored at 5-1/2"
Mat: Sweet Sorbet CS 5-1/4" x 4"

Top right DSP: 2-1/4" x 1"
Middle right kitty: Basic White CS 1-7/8" x 1-7/8"
