It's Friday again so that means a new challenge starting at QKR Stampede. Don't forget that we've changed over to "Anything Goes with a Twist" and the twist is always optional. Our twist this week is "Valentine." I chose to use Digi 10304 Chocolate Kisses as my image and Digi 10302 Kiss Me Quick as my sentiment.
I used my ProMarkers to color the image and then cut it with a die from Spellbinders. The sentiment is printed, hand cut, inked on the edges and mounted onto the image. I saved three of the little hearts that fell out of the die cut so that I could use them for corner embellishments.
I dug out a piece of burlap, trimmed it, and pulled out some of the fibers along the edges. I mounted that onto a red card base, then applied the image on top. Finally, I tied the fibers I had pulled out of the burlap swatch into a knot and used them as a 'bow.' Fast, clean and simple, and perfect for a masculine Valentine.

Come play with us this week, won't you? Although you can do only the "Anything Goes" part of the challenge theme, if you want to get another Valentine finished, (it's only 10 days now until you'll need them!) feel free to use the optional twist, too. Happy Stamping. NanaConnie
