SHEEPSKI DESIGNS - FEBRUARY BLOG CHALLENGE

Well here we are with Challenge #10 for.....
SHEEPSKI DESIGNS BLOG CHALLENGE
The theme for this challenge is....
RED/HEARTS/ROMANCE/LOVE
You can read the rules....
HERE
So here is my DT inspiration for you!
I used Andrea's image 'ROCKET & ROSIE'
You can purchase it
HERE
Here is my inspiration for you....
I took a 5.5 square red card base and layered the front with paper with tiny red hearts all over it.
I die cut various size hearts in a contrasting red paper with white hearts.
I used foam tape to adhere the image topper on top of the biggest hearts and put the smaller ones in the top right corner. I put a red ribbon bow in the top left corner.
On the inside I made a pocket with the same paper as I used to layer the front of the card then made a gift card to fit in the pocket using one of the Ephemera cards from the paper I used.
I hope you like what I did with the image and it will give you some inspiration.
Thank you for visiting today.

Happy crafting!!
