Be Mine!

Happy Sunday!  Popping in with a card to share.  I am playing along with a few blog challenges today.  I am playing along with this week's Papertrey Ink Make It Monday Challenge: Using different types of paper.  When I thought different types of papers, my mind, for some reason, automatically went to recycling.  I started with my card base using PTI Stamper's Select white card stock. 

  Next, I cut a piece of Bath and Body Works paper bag from Christmas(note the letters at the bottom almost spell Bath).  I thought the buffalo plaid background mimics the inspiration photos brick background.  Plus, I was playing off of the green moss and black bike colors.  I kept the top edge detailing that came with the bag. I thought it offered a more rustic look like the outdoor scene.  Next, I die cut and stamped PTI With All My Heart stamp set using PTI Limitless Layers: Hearts die collection using PTI pure poppy ink.  For the black and white layered frame, I again used the Limitless Layers: Hearts and the black and white tissue paper that comes with a Sephora Bag.  I did glue it to a stamper's select white die cut limitless layers: heart die so it looked more crisp white.  When I started assembling the card, I felt like it needed something more on the background to follow along with the sketch.   

I used PTI Star Scribble stamp set and white embossed the images. Since this gift bag paper has a bit of a sheen, it was difficult to get a perfect impression, but I really liked the distressed look for this card.  I die cut a sentiment strip and added a white on white row of hearts using PTI heart border die.  I did cut out one in red.  I stamped the sentiment and added the beads using PTI True Black baker's twine.  I finished my card with a few clear sequins.  I think this looks perfect to give to my hubby for Valentine.  Outdoorsy and masculine. 

I am also playing along with Inspired by All the Little Things 

and CAS(E) this Sketch.

As always thanks so much for stopping by!
