Mixed Media Monthly February Challenge!

Hello there! It's February (I'd swear it was just January 1st!!) and that means it's time for a new challenge over at the Mixed Media Challenge Blog. This month it's a photo inspiration challenge which means that you look at the challenge graphic below and make a super cool project inspired by it and then post it in the linky on the challenge post and then you will be eligible to win a $25 gift certificate to spend at our sponsor, Topflight Stamps. Whew! Get all that? ;-)

I took the opportunity to make a Valentine's Day card for my wonderful hubby:


The background stamp is a fabulous steampunk stamp from a Carabelle set called 'The Heart Has its Reasons". The background is done with Distress Crayons, tissue tape and stenciling.

Overlaying it are die cut gears colored with more Distress Crayons and a Tim Holtz Findings heart charm paired with a Paper Doll.

Thanks for stopping by! Be sure to head on over to the MMM blog and check out all the inspiration in the challenge post! We'd love to see you join in and share your work with us. Many thanks as well to Topflight Stamps for sponsoring us this month.
