Good Morning Everyone,
Hope you all are doing well! Things in our household are good - the common cold has our wee ones a bit congested, so I have been up and down trying to help them sleep. The thing is that when they finally go to sleep - then I am up! So what else to do but to make a card (at least, that's my logic :)
I was up and saw that Kristina Werner had her color challenge up (Color Inspiration #37) - yay! I missed playing last week and couldn't wait to play when I saw these yummy colors (how can it not be yummy with names like: Chocolate Chip and Pumpkin Pie :). I loved the shot of the pencils together as our color inspiration - and I had to - I mean had to use this stamp that I just got from the Love is Sweet stamp set collection - of a cupcake holding a pencil and the inspiration colors came from pencils - that was just too cool :)! Originally, this cute little cuppie was drawing a heart - but I masked that and instead stamped the sentiment: "Be Mine" upside down (I was going to stamp it right side up - but unless the cuppie had mad skillz in upside down writing, it made more sense to have him write it upside down :)
I stamped the image on the different color cardstock from the colors of the inspiration challenge and then paper pieced it all together. There's a touch of Crystal stickles on the top of the cuppie, but I don't think the photo captures it. I cut out a heart shape and then paper pierced around it twice giving interlocking hearts. I also paper pierced the chocolate brown paper. The scalloped edging was done with a circle punch, and the bottom edges of the card were corner rounded.
Can ya'll believe its Thursday -- seriously - where did this week go? Hope you are all having a fabulous day!
Thanks for coming over for a visit!

So clever! I love the pierced hearts! Side note: I used to have mad skillz at writing my name upside down and backwards! I worked at a restaurant that had butcher paper on the tables and we were to write our name with the crayons for the guests!
