Unity Addicts Challenge #22

This week, Carole challenged us to "Use a non-valentine stamp, in a valentine way ! You must also use ribbon and buttons on your card!". I combined it with the wonderful Unity Sketch Challenge from Amber, and here was my result:
I have to say, this is one *heavy* card! LOL! Definitely not one that'll be easily mailed...

I started with a standard A2 card base in Very Vanilla, and began building. I cut the orange polka-dot paper to 4"x4", rounded the two right corners, and added to strips of coordinating DP from the same paper pack. Next, I punched a scalloped circle from Chocolate Chip, and a circle from Whisper White (I actually originally did this on VV, but it looked too bland...the WW gave it a little more light). I stamped my favorite little owl from Mix-Up of Cuteness onto the white circle using Chocolate Chip ink, stamped the owl onto a DP scrap and some Creamy Caramel, and paper-pieced him. I adhered both circles to the base, then started playing with buttons, flowers, and a scrap of brown twill until I came up with my arrangement.

For the sentiment, I wrote 'loves you?' with a ZIG Writer, and then spelled out the 'Whoo' with chipboard letter stickers from Making Memories to give it a Valentine-y theme *wink*, and added three 'candy dots' to the corner.

Go to {this post} to see what the other Unity chicks are up to, and to play along! Thanks for stopping by today!
