Sending My Love - ATSM Challenge #80 {Photo Inspiration}

OOPS - a little late with getting my blog post done today for my DT card at Addicted to Stamps and More! Somehow the last couple of days have snuck up behind me and swept my feet right out from under me - good gracious.

Anyway...enough complaining about my tardiness, time to share another card with your for the current challenge at ATS&M.  ATSM#80 is a Photo Inspiration - take a look:
You can take any aspect you want from this photo - the colors, the hearts, the theme (Valentine's day), the candy, the stripes - totally up to you.  I immediately gravitated toward the purple, orange and pink colors and decided to make a Valentine's day card using a new digi from our fabulous challenge sponsor Deedee's Digis.

Our sponsor generously provided us with some digital images to use this month. But as I was out crusing the store site I came across the January Digi of the Month and just had to purchase it.  Here's my card using the January Digi of the Month -  "Sending My Love":


The finished card size is 5 1/2" square.  I used one of the sentiments from the set for the tag that is tucked behind the main image.  Here's a couple views of the tag:

Of course I still left a panel inside to write a longer message. I sprinkled a few more of those tiny pink hearts on the inside panel too :o).  I've decided though that I now need a tag die or punch to make fancier tags as I really like this idea (thinking Christmas too). 

I'm entering my card in the following three challenges:
The Paper Players #180 (PPA180) where I got the great sketch (as you can see, I flipped it)
 
City Crafter Challenge Week #196 - Lovey Dovey (Valentine)
and 
I hope that you will decide to join us this week at ATS&M for Challenge #80 - Photo Inspiration. Please go visit the rest of my lovely DT members and see what they have made for you as well.  This is Karen's last week as Guest Designer.  We have really enjoyed having her with us! Thanks Karen xxoo

Til next time friends...hugs and happy crafting! D
