I just love using red and black together. Red and black makes me feel good and energized.  It has always been my favorite colors or maybe it is my favorite colors because I have always lived in Georgia and grew up playing on the UGA campus.  So I guess I am a Dawg fan!

Here is the card recipe:

Card Base:   Cut a piece of Real Red cardstock 8-1/2 x5-1/2 Scored at 4-1/4        

Mat: Cut a piece of Basic Black cardstock 4 x 5 ¼

The stamped art piece:  Whisper white  cut 3-3/4  x 5

• Adhere your Basic Black mat to the Real Red card front
• The art piece was stamped in Black Memento Ink using the stamp set Party Panda from the Sale-A-Bration catalog. Give a few minutes to make sure it has dried thoroughly.
• Die cut your 2 Real Red hearts to use for the balloons and 1 Basic Black heart for your sentiment using the hearts from Sure Do Love You stamp set in the Occasions Catalog. The small hearts used for the flowers was punched using a small heart punch.
• The flower border at the bottom of the stamped art piece is a piece cut from one of the cards in the Sale-A-Bration Sweet Soiree & More Card Pack. I adhered it to the stamped art piece using Tombow Liquid Glue
• The Sentiment is written in white ink on the Basic Black heart.
• The 2 Real Red hearts and the Basic Black heart are adhered to the stamped art piece using dimensionals.
• Using Real Red and Old Olive Stampin Write Marker and my Blender Pen I darkened some of the flowers.
• Adhere your stamped art piece to the card front with dimensionals

Your card is finished.  You may want to add a little bling to some of the flowers at the bottom.  I chose not to do so.

 

Inside Sentiment 

I die cut a heart out of Basic Black and used Tombow Liquid Glue to glue on the corner of the envelope
