My First 2022 Challenges

I am trying to build my blog Followers [and comments], so for exposure, my 2022 goal is to join in more challenges offered out here in blogland.  

Today I am starting with The Global Design Project #324; CASE the Designer.  I was totally inspired by the background that was used on Connie's card.  Here is her card;

 

Here is my take;

I just love the background wonky strips.  I know, basic, but I just loved that!  This masculine Valentine card will be perfect for my husband.

I would tell you products used, but I have no idea.  I often ask myself why did I throw away the manufacturer labels.... live and learn [the hard way].  I now keep the labels. 

------------------------------------------------------

I went on to join in The Card Concept Challenge #166, and Simon Says Wednesday Challenge - Something New.

I got the colors, but since I added green, this card might not count.  That's okay, I still like the card.

For this card, I used Altenew's Beautiful Heart Stamp Set.  I do love the layered stamping. This set does have matching dies, however, I don't have them, so I used my Scan & Cut. Fussy cutting and me - not so much.

The sentiment is a new stamp set from Poppy Stamps, Art Deco Birthday Greetings.  I adore the font of this stamp set.



Thanks for stopping by~

Really like the newsprint card, with the great mixed details. So many valentine/love cards are too frilly for a man, but this design could be sent to anyone!

This is lovely, Vicki! The soft pink flower is absolutely gorgeous, and I hope green leaves are not a disqualifying factor, because I used them, too. I enjoyed seeing your pretty card!
