Otter Valentine - Stampin' Up! Sweet Conversations

   Valentine's Day will be here before we know it and it's time to get started on some Valentine's Day cards to send out.  It's always fun to combine sets to make for a cute design.  My colors are inspired by the team over at The Color Hues Challenge.  They are using Red and Purple this time around which is a great combo for Valentine's as well as Red Hat groups lol! 

  The Sweet Conversations set and the Sale-a-Bration set Awesome Otters are a great team for this bright and cheerful card.

  The Sweet Talk DSP has some great reverse side patterns that are perfect backgrounds for images.  I loved this Highland Heather striped pattern and build my card up around it.  The otter is stamped and colored with Blends and then fussy cut.  He/she is standing on a row of die cut hearts and holding 2 other stamped hearts.

  The sentiment is from the Awesome Otters set and is cut with the cute little tag die in the Sweet Hearts die set.  I added a little banner in Fresh Freesia topped with a red heart and red gem.  The new Real Red faux linen ribbon ties off the tag for the final touch.

  Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?
