FTTC204 - You Are Loved!

~

~

Hello, everyone!  It's time for this week's Timeless Tuesday challenge!

~

~

Cindy is our hostess and she's asked us to use 4 brads/pearls, a circle, and a fishtail banner in our creations.  At first I thought this may be a little difficult to incorporate all these items into one project.  But then I spotted the Cardabilities sketch #67 for this week:

Awesome!  I had a plan!!

Of course I wanted to use some of the newest released stamp sets.  I pulled out Roses Are Red and Inside & Out You.  How perfect to make another Valentine card for my stash!

The rose was stamped on Flourishes Classic white cardstock and colored with these Copic collections:

I used both a classic circle and lacey circle Nestabilities to cut out the chocolate layer.  I embossed just the classic circle and then taped it back into the lacey circle.  The card base and the fishtail banner with "You" on it are both made from Flourishes Classic Ivory cardstock.   I stamped the "are loved" portion of the sentiment in both Memento Rich Cocoa and Desert Sand colors to give it a little shadowed effect.

I didn't have the perfect pink ribbon match for the rose so I pulled out some eggshell seam binding and colored it with my R83 Copic from the Lenten Rose Collection.  I added some more fishtail banners from my patterned paper and a "swish" of pearls to finish the design.  I'm rather pleased with how it turned out!

I hope you'll decide to play along with us this week!  Don't you need another Valentine card too??

Oh, I love pink and brown together, Broni! The embossing on the brown circle element is so elegant. The ribbon flags are festive, but my favorite thing might be that lovely pearl swirl swooping down from the bouquet. It's just the perfect touch. Gorgeous coloring, too! I finally took the plunge and started my own blog. I'd love it if you took a look and gave me some feedback. Cheerio!
