You’re koala-fied to be my Valentine! Card by Tasha

 Happy Friday Art Impressions Friends!

Tasha here sharing a fun Valentine's Day card inspired by the Art Impressions Monochromatic Challenge. With Valentine's Day just around the corner, it's the perfect time to get started on your cards!

For this project, I used the adorable Koalas Set as the main image and focused on different shades of pink to fit the challenge's monochromatic theme—because who doesn’t love pink?

I began by stamping the koala onto white cardstock and creating a mask using masking paper. Using a heart die, I cut out a center heart and a matching pink frame to frame the image. After masking the koala, I blended two shades of Distress Oxide Ink to create a soft, colorful background. I love how the lighter shade around the koala creates a spotlight effect, making it the focal point of the card.
To add dimension, I layered two shades of pink card stock and glitter paper with a piece of Art Impressions heart-patterned paper. The mix of textures and patterns adds interest while keeping the monochromatic pink theme. I also stamped "Happy Valentine’s Day" in pink ink to tie in with the overall look.
  
Lastly, I added tiny white hearts to the center heart’s background for an extra pop of detail. I love how the card turned out and hope it inspires you to create your own monochromatic Valentine’s Day design.

Have a wonderful day!
