TCH #56 - Pink and Red Valentine's Day Bridge card featuring Love Cats

  Hello and Happy Wednesday!  I am on a roll this week with blog challenge cards.  Today I am sharing a card that I designed for the Color Hues challenge to use Pink and Red on a card. Those colors are perfect for Valentine's Day and I just had to use the Love Cats stamp set. I have had a lot of fun making bridge cards, so here is another one (in case you missed my post yesterday, see that here). I chose to use two In Colors for my card - Polished Pink and Sweet Sorbet. I think they work great together!

 

  Above are images and links to the products that I used for today's project. Don't forget that now through February 28th you can earn exclusive Sale-a-Bration items with a qualifying $50 or $100 merchandise order.  To find out more about these items or to place an online order, please click on any image to hop over to my online Stampin' Up! store (don't forget to use Host Code AWMYZTC4 with your online order at checkout through January 30th).  

 

 

  If you are wondering how to make a Bridge card, be sure to check out my Painted Seasons Bridge Birthday card blog post here for the card shown above that I shared back in March 2019 - it includes the dimensions I used for making a bridge card.  You can also check out my Hello Ladybug card from earlier this week here.

 

 

  This card is dimensional, but also folds flat to fit easily into an A2 envelope. I love how these two In Colors from separate years work so well together! If you love Polished Pink, make sure you stock up because it is retiring at the end of April.  Sweet Sorbet is a soft red that reminds me of strawberries and definitely has undertones of pink.

 

 

  Here is a close-up of the cat image that I used on the bridge panel. I used a retired 2" circle punch to cut it out and then matted it with a circle cut using the Decorative Circle punch.  I colored the little heart with a Sweet Sorbet stampin' write marker.  I used my Tuxedo Black ink for all the cat images and sentiments, but the one on the front just didn't turn out dark enough so I did go back and color it in with a basic black marker. 

 

 

  Here's a shot of the inside of the card. I inked the sentiment and stamped it on Polished Pink card stock, then cut it out with the Double Oval punch. The sentiment on the bridge panel was embellished with the hearts from the third cat image - I carefully only inked the hearts with a Sweet Sorbet marker and stamped on the basic white cardstock strip. 

 

 

  And here is one more view of my card. I love how it turned out - these kitty cats are just toooo cute!  I hope I have inspired you to make a bridge card of your own!  Be sure to check out the Color Hues blog by clicking on the image below for even more pink and red inspiration before Valentine's Day.

 

Thanks for visiting and happy stamping!

Awwwwwwwww...this is so purrrr-fectly CUTE Debbie, and works so well with our color challenge too! Those kitties are adorable and I love that you made a dimensional card too...I haven't made a bridge card in quite some time and need to rectify that! Thanks so much for sharing with us at the Color Hues Challenge! Marcia (DT)
