The background polka dot text paper on this card is from a new 6"x6" paper pad from Making Memories called Chloe's Closet that I picked up at Michael's this afternoon. I combined it with my last few scraps of Purely Pomegranate cardstock and some rub-ons for this unconventional Valentine using Mojo Monday Sketch #72.
I used a page from a French textbook as my background paper for the main image and sentiment. The border punch is from Martha Stewart.
absolutely lovely card...

Believe it or not, I found this blog post when I Googled "Chloe's Closet Making Memories". I recently received this awesome 6x6 pad and embellishments from my sweet DIL and wanted to see what others were doing with some of the more unusual papers in the pack...for example, the one you've used on your card! :) I'm VERY impressed with your creativity! The colors are perfect and I love the layout. (aren't sketch's the best?)
Now, I need to check out some of your other lovely cards and I'll be sure to subscribe too! Smiles, Pam :)
