Terrific Tuesday Challenge- Valentine's theme

I've been wanting to post this for a few days now but I haven't been able to because the internet has been down. I love challenging myself to try something different. This time I used tulle and wrapped it around a piece of pink card stock to bring some texture into the card. I also used an embossing folder called tiny hearts that is a hobby lobby brand. I used Create A Critter 2 for the heart box of chocolate's. This is an A2 size card. Head on over to scrappymoms-stamps.blogspot.com and have fun!

Use it Tuesday challenge #48: Warm It Up!

I used Paper Doll Teen Scene cartridge because in this challenge you use your scraps or things you've had for a while. I've had this cartridge for months and have only used it for paper dolls for my daughter to play with, so I thought it would make a cute summer card. I also used some paper I've had for a while too. I used green tulle for a net which even though I forgot to add before I put my card base down, I think it turned out cuter. I used all three colors: Red, Orange, and Yellow. Head on over to useittuesday.blogspot.com to see all the fun projects and play along!

I took the same paper I used for the paper dolls skin and took a dark brown ink over it to give it a sandy look. I also just ripped the paper a bit for some texture.

This is the inside of my card. I use a strip of the base background and some green so it would stand out.
