What Was I Thinking???

I have been experiencing some Blogger trouble lately.  Seems like someone is trying to test my computer anxiety (I wrote my undergraduate thesis on it 20+ years ago).  Anyhow, I think it's up and running.  To those of you subscribing via email, please leave me a comment to let me know you're getting my blog posts.

I meant to post this card yesterday for Valentine's Day.  This card is another one that I created for my Sale-a-Bration stamp camps.
This version only uses three of the shades of pink/red.  I gave my stamp campers a few other colors to choose from so that they could put together the pattern of hearts without too much mental difficulties like I had. 

I started with a Whisper White card base, then used the Heart to Heart punch three times, once in the center and then on each side.  I adhered anther piece of Whisper White behind the punched area, then used Tombow to hold the various hearts in place. The sentiment is from the Outlined Occasions Sale-a-Bration stamp set. Inspiration for this card came from Leann Greff.


Stamps: Outlined Occasions (you can get this for free with a $50 purchase)
Paper: Whisper White, Pretty in Pink, Regal Rose, Rose Red
Ink: Stazon  Jet Black. markers - Pretty in Pink, Regal Rose, Rose Red
Accessories: Heart to Heart punch, Real Red 1/8 inch taffeta ribbon

Happy Stamping!

Love the colors on this! I can see how you could become obsessed with color placement! I tend to do that a lot... Such a great way to use the punch and show off the free stamp set at the same time!
