CAS-ual Fridays Challenge #34

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! 
In the City

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!

  2. Haha! :-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!

  5. Love 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!

  15. Oh... 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?

  18. 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.

  19. So 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.
