IHP March Challenge

Tuesday, March 20. 2012

It's time for our March design team challenge over at i {heart} papers! This month we're using some of the fabulous Mint Motif stamp sets. Did you know that they just released two brand new sets a few weeks ago?

This month, we want YOU to play along with us, too! Simply make a card or project using any Mint Motif stamp set. Then link it up using the Mr. Linky on Kate's blog. The deadline to link up your creation will be 6pm EST on Sunday the 25th. One lucky participant will win a featured spot on Kate's blog!

I used the uber-cute Sweet Tooth set and made a fun, rainbow colored clean and simple card for the challenge. Phew, that was a mouthful!

Sweet close-up

The inspiration for my card came from this card my design team cohort Gretchen pinned a few weeks ago. I used the same layout but simplified things a bit and punched it up with color.

I decided to repeat my main image, but change out the color of the candy heart on each panel using my Copics. Then I matted them on coordinating cardstock. [I love how using Copics on kraft gives them an almost watercolored look!]

Be sure to check out what the other gals made for this challenge:
