Where Creativity Meets C9 Challenge #6: Love

9 Feb

Good morning!  Today we’re starting the sixth challenge for Where Creativity Meets C9 and our theme is LOVE!  You can find all the details and the rest of the design team’s creations here!

We are sponsored by the fabulous Concord & 9th and one lucky random entry will receive a $25 gift certificate for a Concord & 9th shopping spree and our favorite entry will be asked to guest-design for a future challenge!

Here’s what I came up with!

You're Perfect Just the Way You Are by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Where Creativity Meets C9

I love those little birds from Birdie Banners!  I stamped those in the bottom corner of my card panel and colored them with copics.  Then I inked the falling hearts with red, pink, and light pink ink and stamped them across the top of my card panel.  I used my MISTI so I could re-ink the hearts to get solid coverage.  I stamped the sentiment from Best Banners and then die-cut the ‘perfect’ banner from the coordinating die set with black cardstock.  I pressed a versamark pad over the black cardstock and heat-embossed it with clear embossing powder before adhering it to the card panel.

I trimmed the panel down and mounted it to a black card panel.  Finally I added a little clear spectrum noir sparkle to some of the hearts.

And now it’s your turn!  The challenge ends on February 28th and I can’t wait to see what you’ll create!  Don’t forget to follow us on Facebook and Instagram for more design inspiration throughout the month!  Thanks so much for visiting and have a fabulous weekend!
