TGIF C302 Red & Pink Colour Challenge

The TGIF challenge this week was to use the colour combination of Smoky Slate, Petal Pink, and Red Red in an homage to Valentine's Day. 

 I am not a mushy Valentine's girl!  So instead I made a card that shares the love in a fun way.

This could just as easily be a thank you card or a birthday card, rather than specifically something for Valentine's Day.  

I used Real Red and Petal Pink to make my ice cream scoops using the Sweet Ice Cream set, punched them out with the Ice Cream Cone Builder punch, and mounted them on a Smokey Slate cone.  I also embossed the background panel with the Dainty Diamonds embossing folder, which I think looks like the texture on a waffle cone!

I stamped my sentiment, from the same set, in Real Red on white cardstock and die cut it and a larger Smoky Slate label with the Stitched So Sweetly dies.

I added a piece of Real Red ribbon sheer ribbon left over from my Christmas crafting, and tied a fun double-bow to add some dimension.  A few rhinestones for shine and complete!

I kept the inside of my card Valentine's-neutral too, with a great sentiment that says "the good things in life are better with you" and another punched ice cream cone.  

I think Valentine's Day can be about so much more than just celebrating your romantic relationship, there are so many other people in your life to celebrate the love with too!  And this card could be sent to any of them.  :)

This Valentine's Day, #makeacardsendacard, and let the special people in your life know you love them.
