A Lovely Challenge from The Paper Players

Happy Sunday, y'all!  I think you're going to LOVE the new challenge from The Paper Players, ha!


Now, my hubs' birthday is ON Valentine's Day, and our kiddo's birthday is the day after--even Daphne our dog has a birthday a little later in February!  The hubs would be perfectly happy to ignore his birthday altogether but I can't let him do that.  Anyway, when I saw this challenge graphic, the first thing that popped into my head was the world's most famous (probably) skunk in the history of ever, Pepe Le Pew.  Here's what I made:


Okay, I may not have Looney Toons stamps, but I do have a Valentine skunk!  The stamp set I used, Hey Love, has been retired for quite a while, and I bought it a few years ago but this is the first time I've ever inked it up.  The "stinkin' sweet" is one stamp and I masked off "valentine" from another one to make my greeting here.  Then I just played around with parts and pieces from the Love Notes DSP stack until I came up with this.  The two parts of the background are actually just printed that way on the paper, I cut off a bit from the sides and the top until I got the pink pattern the width I wanted it.  The purple polka dots and the two hearts with the arrow are from other patterns in the stack.
