Welcome to the January Creative Inking Blog Hop! I'm so glad you stopped by! This month's theme is "Love is All Around."So, of course, I made a Valentine's Day card for my hubby, Ken. I wanted to make a pretty, but kind of masculine card that packed a punch on the inside. I used a blast from the past and created an explosion card. I used a piece of DSP from the Love Blossoms Paper Pack. All the paper in the stack is measured at 6 x 6. The key to making an explosion card is using a squared piece of paper and a bone folder so your creases are nice and defined.
The outside of my card is very simple. The colors are Rose Red and Crumb Cake. I used the Bloomin' Love stamp set. The polka dots were made by dipping the eraser end of a pencil in Rose Red ink. I added some Pearl Basic Pearls to add a finishing touch.
Here is a look at the inside of my card.....
Here it is fully opened......
I used the Sweetheart Paper Punch along with the sweet little heart included in the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack. I think it's a simple card, but it says everything I want it to!
Thank you so much for stopping by! Have a great day and Happy Valentine's Day! Please click on the icons below to either go forwards or backwards to view the rest of the awesome blog hoppers.
