Love is in the air

I missed last week's A La Card Monkey challenge because I was busy taking down and putting away a gazillion Christmas decorations. I made this card for this week's Monkey 91 challenge "A bundle of love":


This is actually the 2nd card that I made for this challenge - I got carried away the first time and the card ended up looking MUCH too busy. I did this one a lot simpler. The base card is Cherry Cobbler cardstock that I ran through the polka dot embossing folder (I just LOVE my new Big Shot!). The little heart paper is DCWV it's attached to a piece of white cardstock that I used my border punch on. I topped that with white satin ribbon then added the owl with his "balloons". The strings for the balloons are Cherry Cobbler/white baker's twine. The "I Love You" sentiment is from a stampabilities cube and then punched with the scalloped heart punch. This was then sponged with CC and mounted on another embossed heart that I cut out after running it through the Big Shot. The 24-7 is from the Perfect Postage stamp set and punched with the postage punch. Here's this week's sketch:



I'm also going to enter this in Princess Shirley's new Valentine Blog hop.

2. Add the Hop to your Post, by using the code from Linky tools.

  5. Caution: The Big Shot is addicting! Soon it'll be hard to imagine a card without something embossed or diecut with it. I love the different edges and textures of your card. Very cool!
