Here we are in February, and if you're on the same page with me, I'm working to get my valentines completed and mailed out to family and friends. You can see an obvious theme here from Diane with her new February inspiration board.

And my response to it:
I don't have any pink Halloween paper in my stash, other than the bright pick one I used for the mat and sentiment banner on my card, so I made some with pink ink. I started with an ancient corner cobweb (probably Inkadinkado) and PTI "Hibiscus Burst" ink and stamped it on a white cardstock panel that I had trimmed out with a deckle-edge rectangular die. I also stamped it on the corner of a second white panel and trimmed it with a stitched rectangular die. I blended pink ink on both panels, as well as adding a blended circle where I intended to stamp the spider's body. I added some Tim Holtz splatters in black and mounted the white top panel to a bright pink patterned paper and black heat-embossed my elegant little spider, adding a black line for her to dangle from. I added a black and white cobweb paper layer that I had cut with a larger deckle-edge die, stacked them all together and attached them to the face of the white card base after mushing some pink ink on the lower right corner. The sentiment was stamped with black ink on a strip of bright pink, before adding it and a bit of embellishment - black embroidery floss and a pink brad.
This photo shows off the shiny surface of my little spider. I made a custom envelope from pale pink lightweight paper and lined it with a piece of coordinating black and white printed cobweb paper. I think I've finally used up all of my scraps of this paper years after purchasing a whole pile of it for Halloween cards way back when. I'm rather pleased with this card!
