Mainly Red

Are you ready for another challenge over at Pause, Dream, Enjoy Challenges?  Good, because we've got a fun one for you this week!  Our challenge theme this time is:

Mainly Red

See? I told you it was fun!  With Valentine's Day coming up, I thought I'd use this as a chance to get my husband's card ready (don't worry, he doesn't read my blog.  He assumes he'll see all of my cards in real life).  

The base of this card is a dark red.  I cut it at A2 proportions.  Then I cut a piece of white cardstock slightly smaller to mat, then another piece of the red cardstock slightly smaller again.  That one I embossed with a hearts embossing folder from Paper Studio.  I wrapped some red heart ribbon around that layer with just a hint of color.

The cupid is cut from Sweethearts.  I used the white cardstock to cut the shadow feature, and the same red cardstock for the silhouette.  I think Sweethearts is a great cartridge for silhouettes- in fact, I use it more for those than to make the image with its actual layers.  

Now you can head over to Pause, Dream, Enjoy Challenges and check out what the rest of the Design Team has in store for you, then surround yourself with red supplies and get to crafting!  Link up with us and play along!  We've got a great prize this week, so go check it out.
