One of the big announcements at Papertrey Ink today as part of their 5th anniversary celebration was the creation of Pinterest boards with cards by the design team, organized by theme. I was delighted to see this so I don’t have to hunt through the gallery looking for card ideas for specific stamp sets or occasions. The challenge today was to take a piece of inspiration from Pinterest or use the inspiration piece chosen by one of the designers. My schedule was packed today, so I knew not to head over to Pinterest where you can literally spend hours without thinking about it. And once again, I was looking for some inspiration that would lead to another valentine. I found it on Lisa Johnson’s blog. Here’s her inspiration piece:
It took three tries before I ended up with a card I liked, but this might be my favorite valentine yet. I do love a black, red, and white combination.
Everything is by Papertrey Ink except the heart cut from a Nestability.
The simplicity of the your design and the striking papers make this a beautiful card Karen!
I like the contrast of those patterns . . . there’s enough difference to make the heart stand out, but enough similarity that they compliment each other. Very clever!

This is very striking, all the more so for its simplicity – super …
Love the red and black….perfect for a Valentine.
That’s a very chic Valentines card. I daren’t go near the Pinterest boards, I could get lost in there for hours lol Bet I will look all the same..
Ooh perfect take on the Pinterest photo! Love the patterns you created (I am so out of it – have no idea what you used to make the background pattern, lol) and your card design!
