Happy Valentine's Day

Hi there!  This week on the Our Craft Lounge blog challenge #101 is to create a card/project using the oh so popular chevrons (aka: zig zags)

I was inspired by the little card in the middle left of the graphic below.  I started with a pretty carnation pink base card that measures 4 1/4" square.  Next I cut some charcoal gray, red and white panels.  I stamped the chevron pattern from the OCL Every Heartbeat set in pink ink repeatedly across the white cardstock to create a fun background print.  It is difficult to see in the pic, but I lined each side of the wide stripes with a Stardust pen to give the stripes a little pop and then I rounded a couple of the corners to match the base card.  Next, I wrapped some gray/white striped twine around the card and panels.  I stamped the heart in red ink, cut it out and attached it to charcoal and red scallop circles.  

There is still time to play along with this challenge, head on over the the Our Craft Lounge blog and play along.  You could win a prize and some awesome bragging rights!
