If
you're a stamper and you like challenges, or you're new to the idea of
challenges and want to give participating a whirl, I invite you to
participate with The Challenge Chicks! We're a small group of friends and stampers hosting monthly challenges. Won't you join us?!
Our challenge for February 2013 is being shared today!
This month's challenge is easy: Valentines!
For my project, I pulled out one of my Whipper Snapper cling mount sets, Bear Hugs.
Dressed up in his bowtie, he looks like he's ready for some Valentine lovin' to me!
He's stamped in Memento ink and colored with Touch Twin markers. The rose, sentiment, and speech bubble are images also found in the Bear Hugs set. It was fun to create this little scene.
And, how about a bonus project!? I wrapped a conversation candy heart treat box with card stock, added a printed paper panel, and created the tag using an image from the Stampin' Up set called Gift Givers. Pretty simple, and a whole lot cuter than the printed box!
Now get yourself a good dose of some Valentine fun and check out the rest of The Challenge Chicks projects:

You could not have picked cuter images for these Valentines, Anna! I am staring at your coloring on the bear. The little details and shadows you include are amazing! I should so case your owl box for my girls' class Valentines, perfectly sweet and punny! Off to find owl images now....:)
