Sweet Valentine Ben

Happy Friday, all! Here is a card that I made for Challenge 96 over at the Whiff of Joy Challenge Blog. The challenge is to use chocolate, teal and cream for your card. I added a splash of red and yellow/gold as well. =)

I used the Sweet Valentine Ben for my card. Isn't he cute? I love his big smile. =)

The cardstock that I used to stamp and color the handsome Ben is Copic X-Press It! This is my second image colored using this paper (the first one is this one, but I forgot to mention it...) and I love this paper for coloring. It's thiner than my beloved Papertrey Ink Stamper's Select White Cardstock, but the ink won't bleed or feather. PTI's cardstock is still my favorite though since it's more affordable and they are superb for card bases.

I paired him with the Fine And Dandy True Blue collection by My Mind's Eye. I used the Curly Hearts Border Die and the Heart Banner to add a little interest. The sentiment is from this set by Papertrey Ink.

That's it for now. Have a fabulous day! =)
