Hi, friends! It's hump-day.. time for another challenge over at the Simon Says Stamp challenge blog!
A $50 gift voucher could be yours, just for playing along!
The theme this week is
"Have a Heart"... just in time for Valentine's Day. ;) All of us on the DT createdour projects with the
Simon Says Stamp Exclusive line of stamps and dies. If YOU have any of the Simon Says Stamp exclusives in YOUR stash, show us! We'd love to see! But, as always, it's not mandatory you use them to enter the challenge. :)
Anyway, on to my card:
My Valentine is going to be for my hubby, and he is a verrry NO FUSS, NO FRILLS kinda guy. LOL ;) It makes it easy that his favorite colors are black and red, but I needed to keep everything else really simple and masculine. First, I used my digital die-cut machine to cut out the heart, then ran that through my manual die-cutter with Simon's
ALWAYS On The Edge wafer die. I specifically cut my heart at this size, so that when I positioned it and ran the die through, it would cut the heart all the way across. I then put pop dots on the bottom half, lined up the positives of the letters with the negatives, and adhered the bottom portion to my card base.
The result is a slightly off-set look, for something a little different. :) I stamped the sentiment, which is from Simon's exclusive
FOR THE RECORD stamp set, on the top portion of the diecut, and filled in the heart with black
Enamel Accents. It gives the little heart a kinda shiny, leathery texture... perfect! Something else was still missing, so I did a little faux stitching around the heart at the last minute. Not sure how well it works, but it's on there now. LOL :)
Anyway, now it's your turn! Create your project with heart (heehee), and link it up
HERE, by 8am EST US next Wednesday (the 13th - and don't forget to link the the Simon Says Challenge blog, too), and that generous gift voucher could be yours.
And of course, please stop by
HERE to see what my fellow teamies have made for this challenge! One word:
LOVE! :D
