It’s the 9th of the month, so that means it’s time for another Cloud9 Blog Hop! It starts today at 10am EST and runs for 3 days. Here is this month’s inspiration photo:
I decided to use the color scheme to make a non-traditionally colored Valentine’s Day card, just to show that you don’t always need to make a card for the theme shown in the photo. I also had the Scrabble letters in my stash from a trip to my local stamp shop last summer, and was excited to use them on this card:
I used much less silver than I had originally had hoped to but I still love how this turned out. The mini dots in this patterned paper from Studio Calico are so cute, and I used up some metal bling from one of my Christmas kits to add in some silver. I also made the cream tag on my own using a combination of other dies.
I hope you will join us for our first hop of the New Year!
