A Chocolate Heart

Jody aka Kharmagirl issued this month's challenge for the DD/DDA. I chose a color not typically seen for Valentine's Day, soft blue, built around one small scrap of that striped patterned paper. Finished card is 5" x 5"

Challenge perimeters:
Challenge Focus: A Valentine's Day/Love-y Dove-y card!!

Required Element: Texture!! Anything you can *feel* (ie: Fun Flock, Crystal Effects, Embossing/Debossing, velvet ribbon...and I am sure there are a million more things that I cannot think about!!)

Restricted Element: No RED!! Pink is ok...but no red...let's see what other colors we can use for Valentine's Day!

Love this one, Val in all its sweet simplicity! I completely forgot about the DDDT challenge, so I'd better get my booty in gear when I get home this afternoon.
