Paper Sweeties February Inspiration Challenge #16-'Be Mine'

Hi Friends!

It's time for another Paper Sweeties Inspiration Challenge!  Look at all those pretty colors and sweet little girl in the photo.  She looks like she's ready for a Valentine party!

You have until the end of February to enter the challenge.  And, you can enter as many times as you wish.  Your inspiration can come from the photo and/or any of the colors.  The winner will receive a gift certificate for $20 and be invited to be guest designer for the following month.  So, friends, I cannot wait to see what you create for the challenge!

Here is what I came up with for the challenge for some inspiration...


For my card I started with a kraft card base and embossed it.  I added washi tape to the top and bottom of the card.  Little Abigail was colored with copics and die cut with coordinating Sweet Cuts-Abigail die.  The banner and balloons are from the stamp set Celebrate.  Abigail's dress is from the stamp set Enjoy Your Day.  And, the sentiments are from the stamp set Little Wishes.  I used circles and folded them in half to make a 3-D paper decoration hanging from the banner.  I added glittered hearts and sequins.  I had so much fun making this card and I'm ready for a Valentine party, aren't you?:-)

Please follow the list below for more inspiration from the design team.  You'll just love it!!!
