Less Traditional Valentine

-only a touch of red & pink, & no hearts!

This card is jam packed with my favourite things.  The colours (mustard, red, turquoise & pink) were inspired by The Alleyway Stamps first challenge, Be Inspired #1.  The metal swirls screamed D'vine Swirls embossing folder & the knots/holes in the bed meant eyelets.  I'm not into bunting (yet!) so I used a banner & twine for my sentiment.

I distressed the edges of the patterned paper, roughed up the twine & applied distress ink to the embossed square of card & the oval image edges.  I'm entering this card into a Passion for ProMarkers  challenge: Week 136-Theme distressing.

 

The Ribbon Carousel Challenge provided the sketch for this card:

I chose twine for a more natural & masculine look, instead of ribbon, to fit in with the natural wooden headboard & male recipient of the card.

There are plenty of mushrooms in my garden, though usually not in this colour scheme! With that in mind I want to enter this card into Sir Stampalot Challenge for February "In the garden".
