I absolutely LOVE that PTI now has a Monday Challenge. But I struggled with this particular concept all week long. I threw away a lot of cardstock with this challenge! I just couldn't get my sentiments to look like what I had in my head. I finally was able to come up with something that I liked.
I used the Mat Stack Die to cut through the Spring Moss and Old Olive paper.
So when you open the card you can see the negative space from the die.
Inside you can see the sentiment that I stamped on Vintage Cream, also die cut with the Mat Stack die.
I'll be giving this card to my hubby for Valentine's day tomorrow. Good thing he doesn't read my blog! ;-)
Thanks for stopping by!
Stamps: PTI Love Birds, Signature Greetings, Tiny Treats Valentine

Oh, it's just beautiful! I absolutely love it! I have to say, this is my favorite card I've seen for this challenge! Honestly! And Olive is usually my least favorite color!
ReplyDeleteWOW Susan, this turned out just ab fab. Loving it. The color combination and the way you have cut through the two different card stock. Really neat.
ReplyDeleteThis is so great, Susan! The sentiments are lined up beautifully, and the little heart adds so much! Love the colors too!
