SPARKS Challenge: Quill you be my Valentine?

Hello, hello and Happy Sunday!

I hope you are having a cozy kind of weekend.  We are snowed in here in NE Ohio with no end in sight to the snow + cold for the next few days. Good times.

Anyhoo, I wanted to share my card for this week's Paper Smooches SPARKS Challenge.  This week's challenge is a Designer Drafts and here is what I came up with based on the sketch.


Looking at this week's sketch, I wanted to play with some color blocking and I saw the large circle as a target. Using my Silhouette, I created and cut two sets of nested circles in red and white + white and red.  I trimmed the targets and adhered them together to make a complete circle.  

I used one of the hearts from the Sweet Hearts set to dress up the inside of the target.  The arrow and sentiment is from the Love Struck set + dies. 

Here's a look at this week's sketch: 



You have until Saturday, February 1 at 11:59 PST to link up your take on this week's sketch to the SPARKS blog for a chance to win a $30.00 gift certificate to the Paper Smooches store!  Woo hoo!  

Be sure to check out the amazing inspiration from the other members of the SPARKS design team playing along with this week's challenge: 


I can't wait to see what you create! Thanks for stopping by! :)
