WINNER! Queen of Hearts...

Two challenges caught my eye this week and inspired me to print out my Mo Manning "Queen of Hearts". 

First was a "Monochromatic" Sir Stampalot challenge (see details of challenges below) and I chose to color the Queen with reds, of course! Even her skin tones are shades from the same red color.(also detailed below) 

Second, Quietfire does a yearly "Queen of Hearts" Challenge... I think this works!

The background of the base card was stamped with one of my favorite heart stamps using clear ink and clear embossing powder to create shiny red on red texture.  The same heart stamped three times with red ink, clear embossed, cut out and then mounted on foam tape for dimension were added to the lower corner. The sentiment "Who Loves Ya?" was stamped and punched with a "File Tab" punch.  A red metallic ribbon and red studs were also added at this stage to reflect some of the focal image reds.
