Love Birds

Is this year zipping by at light speed for you, too? Here we are, already firmly into February, and just yesterday, I SWEAR I was putting the turkey on the Thanksgiving table.

So, anyway, Valentine's Day is rapidly approaching (along with about a dozen million birthdays in my family), so I thought I'd throw together a little card. Actually, this is for the stamp club card swap challenge this month - to make a love-themed card without using any hearts or red on it. This is one of my favorite color combinations, pink and chocolate.... oops, I mean pink and brown! :-D

Stamps: Filled With Love, Clearly for You
Cardstock: Whisper White, Chocolate Chip, Pretty in Pink DSP
Ink: Rose Red Classic, Chocolate Chip Stampin' Write Marker
Accessories: Chocolate Chip Stitche dGrosgrain Ribbon (retired), Pretty in Pink 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon, 3/4 X 15/16 Inch Oval Punch, Linen Thread, Chocolate Chip Sending love Epoxy Brads (retired)

  1. Lovely card. I like the pink and brown combo, but I did a red and brown combo the other day and it didn't turn out bad. Just a little out of my comfort zone. LOL

    Aways beaufitul cards.

  2. Cindy this is darling! Love what you did with the ribbons and brads. What a great idea for a challenge. Make a valentine with NO hearts. That is much easier said than done, but you did a terrific job!!
