You and Me 2-Gether Card


My inspiration for this card was the Heart2Heart March Challenge "Opposites Attract".  My opposites were "Square and Round" and a second was "Color White w/Red and Color Red w/White", and 2-Gether they make a Pink Heart. This can be a generic card for Valentine's Day, an Engagement, an Anniversary, or you name it.  The whole card was made using Cricut Design Space with the "Elegant Edges" cartridge, layered in three different sizes with the heart made out of the largest cut...

This was my first experimentation with Text in the Cricut Design Space in printing the word "2-Gether"...which was a challenge in itself but I got through it and will certainly use often since there is always that Sentiment that you don't have on a cartridge.  The "you&me" was an already sentiment cut.  The background is from a very old CTMH PaperPak, which does not have the extra tab on it to identify the name, but matched well with the Pinks and Red.  Added cranberry Twine to tie them 2-Gether.  I thought this card needed an explanation of the interpretation of "Opposites Attract" but  hopefully some will see the interpretation from just looking at the card...I really enjoyed making this card.  Look at other Heart2Heart entries on this challenge, you will be surprised with the many interpretations.

Nice card with a clever design! The eyelet cuts are very clean and precise.

I just realized that you combined the two shapes to make the heart. So clever. Thanks for sharing with us at Heart 2 Heart.
