Shades of Red on the Path of Positivity

Is it me or does time seem to be speeding up? It is already the half way point of our challenge at Path of Positivity with the optional theme Shades of Red. As this is the month in which most of the world celbrates Valentine's day I have gone with a more traditional approach, the red rose.

DSC_0503(watermarked)
Materials used:Pattie's Creations - I Love You Hearts and Roses
frame die
designer paper from stash
X-Press It card
red embossed card
square card blank (folded to make and easel card)
Copic pens
chalks and foam bud
gold peel-off greeting
red ribbon rose

The image is printed on X-Press It card and coloured with Copic pens. The hearts are coloured with pink chalk, it's so subtle the camera did not pick it up very well!

The coloured image is trimmed to fit inside the frame which I found in my snippet box. I guess I must have cut it for a different project and then not used it. The frame and image are attached to a square of red card big enough to make the front of the card.

The insid is lined with the same red card as the front. A strip of white card attached to a strip of red card is used to make the 'stopper' and a gold peel-off greeting added.

Just to finish off a small red ribbon rose is added.

Many crafters will, I am sure, be making projects that have some link to Valentine's day, or love or even maybe weddings. So if you have a suitable project please come and join in the fun at Path of Positivity.  We have two great sponsors offering prizes this month, Ike's Art and Pattie's Creations. All the details of how to enter and the prizes available can be found at the Path of Positivity Challenge Blog. Hope to see you there.

Thanks for swinging by. Take care.
