Hello

Hello and Happy Valentines Day to you all. Today will be pretty low key for us. I will be heading to town to do some grocery shopping and pop in and check on my Mom. We have plans for a yummy Mexican dinner a little later in the week. I can't wait! Mexican food is my favorite with Chinese or Italian following pretty closely behind.

The card I am sharing with you today is for the weekly challenge over on the Cat's Meow Forum. A few weeks ago I started this forum for my local stamp store. It is a great little place to hang out. Each week on Wednesday I have been posting a challenge. My challenge last Wednesday was to use the colors red, orange and pink (and a neutral of your choice) together. Anyone is welcome to join and play along in the challenges. We would love to have you!

This card was inspired by a CAS (clean and simple) card I had seen on the web some time ago. I love the look of CAS but have trouble not adding extra layers and goodies to my cards. All of the stamps are from Amuse. It is a little hard to see, but I stamped the outline flower with Adirondack Red Pepper ink onto the bright pink panel and then ran it through my beloved Cuttlebug with the Swiss Dots folder. I stamped the solid flower twice with Adirondack Sunset Orange ink and once with Adirondack Bikini Pink ink and then overstamped with the outline flower in Red Pepper ink. The little piece of orange print paper is from My Mind's Eye Oh La La Her collection. I finished off the card with some orange rhinestones for a little blingy bling! All of the cardstock used was from my scrap pile. You gotta love that!
