PTI's MIM Valentine Ombre

I'm here with a card I made for the PTI Make-It Monday challenge where Melissa has us making Valentine's using ombre stamping. Confession time...
I watched the video on Monday and didn't check out the blog again until today when I got ready to link up my card. I forgot to make it a Valentine's card! I hope it will still count for the challenge.

I used the strawberry from Still Life Summer and that's where you'll find my ombre stamping. The colors I used were Melon Berry, Pure Poppy and Scarlet Jewel. (I just noticed that the strawberries are shaped like hearts so it's all good!) I poured the strawberries into PTI's sweet little die cut tea cup and used a sentiment from Choose Joy. I added some pretty little flowery details from that set for added interest.

I even prettied up the inside of the card.

You can find all the details on Nichole's blog

Thanks so much for stopping by! Blessings~ Birgit

Your card is just lovely! Those sweet heart-shaped strawberries are perfect for Valentines Day. Perhaps there could be a "Grateful for You, Valentine" inside :)

Birgit, I like everything about this card - the soft colors, the choice of sentiment, the strip of paper and the flowers in the upper corner. Very nice touches all around!

Great design, Birgit, with your strawberry hearts flowing out of the tea cup. Great attention to details and finished beautifully!

Birgit, this card is fabulous, in my opinion. Could be out of a magazine, for reals! Good idea to put one of the strawberries outside of the cup!
