Little Tangles Challenge - September

Hi there everybody and welcome to the September Little Tangles challenge!! We have a great challenge theme for you this month that includes not only the card but also the envelope:

This gives you a chance to create a matching set and maybe even a gift set for someone special to use. I can't wait to see what you come up with!!

I'll be completely honest, I never think about the inside of my cards. I like a blank card so I can write anything so this was definitely a challenge for me. However, I always think its good to step out of my comfort-zone and think differently for a change. This is what I came up with:

I decided that instead of trying to think about what to do with the front of the card AND the inside, that I would combine the two!!

I started off by die-cutting the Floral Heart Die from the card front, lining up the Floral Heart Stamp on the inside of it and stamping with black ink. I also stamped it across the back of an envelope. Once the ink had dried I coloured both of the images with my pencils, using the same colours for both.

I love a white card front but something was missing from this design. I didn't want to stamp anything on the front of the card but it looked boring. So....I decided to try something I've never done...scoring!! I chose random areas on the card front and scored across it. Its amazing how much more interesting it looks and it was so easy!!

To finish it off I added some pink and clear sequins and put some Glossy Accents on the dark pink coloured berries on the card. And of course I stamped the sentiment in black ink from Say Yes to Donuts.

I really like how this turned out and actually have an idea about how I could make a pile of these for Christmas!!!

I have four challenges I would like to enter:
