DT: Creative Knockouts- love/anniversary/valentines

Hello! Thanks for popping over to my bit of the internet. Today’s blog is a design team contribution for Creative Knockouts. The challenge is to make a ‘love’ card and I chose the Polkadoodles image for my card. Polkadoodles are sponsoring the challenge this fortnight.

I chose this because I thought the image as was cute and perfect for a love themed card.

The image is ready coloured so that meant choosing the colour scheme was easy!

I wanted bright colours and so went with the Sweet Sorbet and Starry Sky patterned papers in the background and the starry sky ink for the large ‘hi’ sentiment.

As I had printed the image a couple of times I cut the cup out on a second image and used foam tabs to decoupage it up for dimension.

I die cut circles of the red and the white for behind the image, and then die cut some red hearts out of the same patterned paper.

I added a panel of white and another panel of the sweet sorbet behind so it’s got a lot of layers on the card.

The theme for the challenge was love/anniversary/valentines but the image made me think of a friend so I decided to add the sending love and the hi … after all I love my friends too!

Inside the card I added some of the leftover paper and another of the images I’d printed in a smaller size… this is the joy of digital images … you can resize them for your projects! I also added more die cut hearts.
