CFC34: Create a Clean And Simple project using chipboard, for your chance to be a Guest Designer with the Girl Fridays.
Hi there, I'm back with a fun card that "appeared" on my desk last night! Actually, three parts of projects: 1. I had stamped the new Hero Arts Newspaper Skyline on a card front just to see what it looked like. 2. The red heart was a remnant from the border I had applied to the previous project. 3. I had made a little chipboard label for something else but did not use it. So I added a little ink and some adhesive and VOILA!
It may seem a bit of a stretch to call this a Valentine card, but that's the way I see it. The sentiment has a bit of a flirty tone, especially paired with the clear embossed red heart. The thin dark grey line represents a street running through the city. Inside the card, I will write something like "Of all the people in this great big world, I'm so glad I found you!" I'm sure you could add a variety of sentiments, but that seems to fit best for me.
What would YOU like to say on the inside? Keep it clean, this is a public blog!

Lol! This card works for me as a Valentine card! Its a great city card, think this would also work as a great guy card. Love the bit of red.Nothing to add from me for the inside. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteHaha! :-D I don't know WHAT I would write on the inside - I'm not quite the romantic type. But I really like this as a Valentine card! It reminds me of the Sleepless In Seattle meet me at the top of the Empire State Building thing. I think it's a perfect Valentine card. ;-) Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteI love this Suzanne-it's so striking! ;)
ReplyDeleteOh, so pretty! Love the touch of red. :o)
ReplyDeleteLove this! Fabulous use of that stamp! I made a similar card as a Valentine card for my son. Black and white with a bit of red is so perfect for a masculine card. I may have to break down and get that stamp. Thanks for the inspiration!

ReplyDeleteWhat a great card! You did a nice job of subtle coloring of the sky, and the little accent heart is perfect against the city background! I might have to try this challenge...
ReplyDeleteWhat a great CAS card! Love the background stamping! And the chipboard sentiment is the perfect finishing touch! :)
ReplyDeleteI love how you've described your sentiment! This card is amazing, I find it intriguing that you've made that background stamp work SO WELL on a love based card! Thanks for joining us at CAS-ual Fridays!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute and clever! I have this image and have been itching to get it inky - you've inspired me to do it very soon! Thanks so much for playing with us at CAS-ual Fridays!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE your take on the challenge! The use of chipboard is superb! So glad that you join the fun with us at CAS-ual Fridays!
ReplyDeleteOh... and the inside, I will write something like:" So glad to have you in my world", "you are one in a million", "you mean the world to me"...very mushy, huh?
ReplyDeleteSuzanne - how you can make a skyline romantic is amazing to me! This is stunning! I love Virginia's sentiments for the inside of the card, especially "you mean the world to me." :))

I'm trying to catch up on my blog's, and just found this card this morning. To say I LOVE it is an understatement. The pop of red, the skyline, the cute chipboard--perfect for the man in my life. Not too "cutesy" but still speaks! Bravo, Suzanne! Hope you don't mind if I borrow the idea.
ReplyDeleteSo chic, Suzanne. Audrey Hepburn should be wandering around the city some where. The very subtle sky is a wonderful addition to the black and white. I love the glitzy red heart with the thin dark line. You just keep amazing us all.
