Mary has a great color challenge for us this week. Pacific Point + Rich Razzleberry + Daffodil Delight with a masculine Valentine for dessert. Another challenge I had with this was to try not to make this look like a blue and yellow U of Mich hat. I'm hoping the daffodil and razzleberry look at least a little like Minnesota's Maroon and Gold and the blue looks like denim???
As you can see I added the neutral, Crumb Cake, as a textured layer.
I stamped the Birch background stamp on Rich Razzleberry before die-cutting the letters.
The hat and it's patch were colored with pencils. I colored in two directions on the hat to give it kind of a canvas/woven texture.
The little hearts are from Sweet Conversations. I stamped on Basic White card stock but used my Crumb Cake light Blends marker to cover the white outline on these and the hat to help with the somewhat rustic or vintage look.
I roughed up the various elements either with my fingernails or, in the case of the letters and tiny hearts, by using the Take Your Pick paper piercer on the edges.
Thanks so much for taking a peek. I hope you'll play along with us this week!
I blogged about this card as part of a vintage technique blog hop - as part of a His & Hers Valentine duo.

No matter who's team colors this is, it rocks and any fan would love to get this one. I am so TOTALLY impressed that you were able to line up the diamonds on the two sheets of dp layers. Wow. How long did that take to figure out? Fabulous card.

Very cool. Love the texture, the hat and the large letters for part of the sentiment. Wonderful masculine Valentine! I think you achieved your goal for the challenge colors. The hat does have a faded denim look. The background paper is terrific. Nicely done!

No fear....U of M blue is dark and the maize is very golden. (have children who are graduates) Your card is a great masculine valentine for a Gopher! Cleverly done, Chris.
