CTD327

This card is for the Color Throwdown challenge 327. Not only was I inspired by the colors, but also the picture posted on the challenge. I embossed the white heart with a Sizzix embossing folder, colored in some of the parts with copic markers. Then I rubbed Imperial Purple ink (Versafine) over the raised part of the embossing. It is so dark of a purple that it appears black. I really didn't have a sentiment that said what I wanted to say, so I just did a handwritten one. I added a kiwi mat behind the heart, faintly stamped a partial doily onto the yellow background. I added a purple bow and some layered primas with a purple rhinestone middle. It was fun doing a Valentine card in non-traditional colors for the season. You can find the challenge here.
