Color Hues Challenge #32 - Red & Purple

Hello friends.  Nothing like waiting till the last minute to play along with a challenge, but still sorta in the slump club here...anyone else like that here??  I did make a quick card for the Color Hues Challenge as I really needed to get going on some Valentine cards, and the RED and PURPLE seemed like a good way to get started!

 

And here's my simple Valentine card...


I made a background with red & purple inks using SSS's HEART TO HEART BACKGROUND stamp, and then covered it with a scalloped die cut circle (PFS) in red cardstock.  


The sweet little mouse is from CCC's Ever Thine stamp set and was colored with my Copics.  The sentiment is also from the same stamp set.  It still needed a little somethin somethin, so I added a few purple gems from PFS.

Not much time left to play in this challenge (ends on the 14th at 9:00AM), but there is FABULOUS inspiration from the DT and their Special GD, and you can check it all out right HERE. 

Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

    Fabulous interpretation of the vibrant colours and perfect as a valentine's card. Super adorable little mouse, wonderful stamping of the two colours for the hearts on the background and perfect addition of the gems Marcia x.

    What a SWEET cutie patootie mouse! I love the little grin he has. Your background reminds me of Spirograph! Darling valentine, Marcia!

    Well, this card is no indication of a slump! The background is fabulous and the little mouse is colored perfectly! He is just so happy to be presenting his box of chocolates! At least that is what I presume is in the box! I am always just delighted to see you in our gallery at Color Hues!

    This darling guy was worth the wait, Marcia! He's so cute, I'd let him in without the chocolates!
