If You're Sick of Red, Pink, and Black Valentines...

...why not try a tarty lime green and gray?


Pear Tart, by Memento, is my favorite green EVER, and now that I have the markers to go with the dew drop pads, I can edge a stamped panel, pop it up, and feel ever so clean and simple! 'Cause I've yet to find a cardstock to match this yummy shade of green....

Thanks for all the well wishes on yesterday's post. I'm chugging the cold medicine and eating lots of oranges and using my Vicks-infused Puffs. This too shall pass. Sooner rather than later would definitely be better.

Supplies
stamps: Papertrey Love Birds
ink: Memento
paper: Papertrey white
accessories: marker, dimensionals

I LOVE Pear Tart too! Don't have the marker though - sad. . . Your edging is so cool!

Neat looking card. Colds eventually fade once they are done with us.

WOW, Susan! This is absolutely stunning. Perfect in every way. :)

I love what you did with these colors! Sending well wishes your way.

Lisa said...

Great colors, one of my favs.

Try using a nettie pot. As gross as it sounds, it does help.

Jeanne said...

Yup, am sick of red etc. Love that green too. Thanks for the hint! Your card is so cute.

OMG...that color combo is to die for! I'm going to have to use it on something soon- thanks for the inspiration!!

PJL said...

Love the color combo ... nice change right now! Take care!

Carol L said...

I never get tired of using red or pink, but I do like this unusual color combo too! It's great to step out of the comfort zone every now and then! Such a pretty C&S card!

SueB said...

sigh ... I've said it before and I'll say it again: when I grow up I'd like to stamp like you!

sorry to hear you're not feeling up to par!

comfy jammies,
cozy bed,
big soft pillow
for your head.
worry not,
the world can wait.
take your time,
recuperate!

Lindsey said...

This is a sweet and refreshingly different Valentine, or anytime love note. I really like the green birds behind their grey bars.

Aimes said...

Are you psychic or have you been stalking my mind, Susan? I've been dreaming of this colour combo with THAT set myself this week!!! Glad one of us could put it into practice with style!
Hugs,
Aimes
