An Inkspiration Love Note

When I first saw these colours I took a big gulp, but once I had them out in front of me and began to play around with them, I was hooked LOL!   Absolutely love how they work together and the bold statement they make.  I must admit they are not colours I would naturally gravitate towards, and that is why I love colour challenges!  They make me get out of my colour ruts and allow me to find some great new combinations.  

I paired this week's colours with the first Verve sketch for February.  And, since it is February and Valentine's Day is yet to come, I seized the opportunity to use these masculine colours to make my hubby's Valentine's Day card using Verve's Love Notes set which my wonderful blogging friend Tanis gave me for my birthday.  Thanks again, Tanis!!  I am having so much fun with this set and think of you ever time I use it (((hugs))).

From force of habit, I used my lacey circle nesties, and when I realized what I had done I decided I liked and and that hubby is man enough to handle them LOL!  You can barely see it, but the black panel has the word "hugs" clear embossed all over it.   I found this cute heart button and added it to the sentiment panel and did a bit of faux stitching on the side.  In another moment of habit and weakness, I added a bow.  Poor hubby is going to have to put up with that too LOL!

The rest of the Design Team has some great inspiration to get you going on this week's sketch.
