Another “love” card to send to Operation Write Home for the troops in which I used two challenges for my inspiration. One is the sketch from Smeared and Smudged, a Very Sketchy Challenge seen here: 
My theme comes from the challenge at Smudgy Antics titled “Poe Me”. I started with a card stock base of River Rock from SU! and added a pp from Basic Gray. I did a collage stamping of my Poe stamps from Smeared Ink and cut with a Spellbinders die. The sentiment is computer generated. The flower paper (stamped with a set from SU!) was printed on the computer too. I took a scan on a page from a Poe book into Kaleidoscope Kreator 3. I used a punch after stamping. Added SU! pearls to them. The swirls in red cs is from a die by Sizzix. The inks are Stazon.
It’s a “Love” card, right? Different for sure. I hope one of the members of our troops will like it and think it is just right to send home on Valentine’s Day.
