Wow, it’s February already. This month Samantha is hosting the challenges and this first one is a colour one. Seeing as it’s Valentines next week, I did think about going with that theme but then I spotted an unused stamp set on my shelf and thought I should give it some love. That’s why I’m using the just for hosts stamp set called Just Because.
Here’s my card
I wanted the Lovely Lipstick colour to be a bit more dominant on the card but did not want to use it for the base card. Instead, I used the new Rectangle Stitched Framelits to create the frames and placed them under the central image. That way you still see lots of the Whisper White underneath.
I love the sentiment on this card and had the song ” I am what I am” running though my head while I made it. I’ve known the song for ages but had to look up where it originally came from. The answer surprised me because it came from a musical called La Cage aux Folles back in 1985 (showing my age now).
The inside of the card was decorated too with a stamped strip of Gray Granite card stock.
I hope that my Just Because card inspires you to give the challenge a go. You will find the link to add your card over on the CC&S blog and you have until 11.00 pm (UK time) on 11 Feb to add your card.
In the meantime don’t forget to pop over to the challenge blog to see what other members of the design team have to share.
Happy stamping.
