Mornin' y'all, I am on the struggle bus today. Another night of not nearly enough sleep, which means a lot of caffeine today! So let's get to it. How about a Valentine?
I was kicking around card ideas in my brain yesterday and I thought the Creative Colour Challenges palette would be fun with this bear from Valentine Kisses:
There are two other bears in this stamp set, but for realsies we know I'm going to choose the kissy face bear every time. I also used this week's Atlantic Hearts sketch:
I looked for a fun rectangular die to use for the background elements but they were all the wrong aspect ratio for my card, so I ended up snipping a few scraps of Lemon Lime Twist DSP for the panels and then giving them a thin Early Espresso mat. And I still have die cut elements on the diagonal behind the sentiment piece.
Anyway, I think it's time to brew my first cuppa tea today and then take Daphne for a walk. Hopefully I'll still be able to get a few things done today. Cheers!

Good for you, using that color palette--it had me running for the hills! But your little kissy bear looks perfect here, and I love how you gave the DSP a wee bit of a mat! Thanks for playing with our sketch at Atlantic Hearts this week!
You did make those colors work so well. The bear is adorable and beautifully colored. Thank you so much for joining the challenge at Atlantic Hearts.
