Double Challenge


The first thing I thought of when I saw this colour combo was snowflakes and Christmas, but honestly I just can't face doing another Christmas card or project for a while!!!  So skipping forward the next celebration is Valentine's Day - even though it is not as big a deal here in Australia as it is in the US, it is nice to let that certain someone know you love and appreciate them.  This sketch also gave me another chance to use my new Pretty Petites stamp set and matching punch from upcoming Sale-A-Bration!!!  The sentiment is from Wacky Wishes, and I would have liked to stamp it in Pool Party also but it just got lost on the page, so I went with black.

I hope you like my creation and pop on over to the two challenge blogs to see what others have created.

Happy Stamping

  1. Great card, Monique. You've done a great job combining both challenges. I so relate about not wanting to make another Christmas card LOL (at least for a while). Thanks so much for joining us this week at Create with Connie & Mary.

  2. This card proves that you don't need any specific Valentine stamps to make a fantastic Valentine card! Fabulous way to utilize what you have! I really like how you added that cute little sentiment on the side, too! Thanks for joining us this week at Create with Connie and Mary!

  4. Nice job using the colors for Valentine's Day. I love the little tag peeking out with the tiny heart. I just mounted my set today and saw that little one in there.
    I'm glad you joined our challenge this week at Create with Connie & Mary!
