New SU!

I just got a new box full of SU papers and stamps from the upcoming catalog, so I was excited to get to play with them today! The limited supplies challenge provided the perfect opportunity to keep it quick and simple! I used a standard envelope, tucked the flap inside, then cut a piece of pretty Raspberry Tart paper to decorate the bottom half. I used markers directly to the bird stamp for the top corner, and then used stamps and punches in different colored layers for the medallion. The card itself is a 4.25 x 5.5 piece of Kiwi Kiss cardstock, layered with a 4 x 5.25 piece of Cameo Coral, and topped with a 3.75 x 5 Whisper White layer stamped with the Love You Much image in Riding Hood Red. I colored the letters in with a Cameo Coral marker...wish I would have used a blender pen with Kiwi Kiss instead of the Old Olive marker for the little leaf...I'll remember that next time!

The goal of this challenge was a Valentine that you could quickly mass produce...this one gives lots of style for little effort! Hope you like it!
