Love You

I have 20 minutes to get this one in under the wire.  I had this idea all week but just could not get to it.  This week's LIM challenge was a theme challenge and Chrissie and Mandi chose 

"Cut it Out"

For this they would like to see some kind of hole or aperture in our card!

 

I cut a heart from the front of my card with a new heart die from Memory Box.  I then took a piece of vellum and stamped the Damask Heart - also from Memory Box. I used vellum splits from Creative Memories to attach the vellum panel on the inside of the card.  The sentiment is from PTI's Botanical Silhouettes and is stamped in Real Red.  It needed some zing, so I used a hat pin from an SU Pretties Kit I got years ago. 

 

I now have a Valentine card for my husband. Thanks for the inspiration once again Mandi and Chrissie!

Key 2 My Heart

I LOVE this new stamp set from Hero Arts ~ "So Sweet". My mother gave me a gift certificate for Christmas to a wonderful store nearby called Scrapper's Cove. They carry so many wonderful things. I had a blast shopping there today. Thanks Mom! The OCC Challenge this week was a sketch. I have been trying to get to it all week, and I finally did it this afternoon. I stamped the image in Black Stazon on SU Shimmery White paper and colored it with Copics. I was all ready to post the picture, and then I realized I forgot the embellishment in the lower right hand corner. I found some wonderful ceramic heart buttons in my stash, and it was perfect to finish off my card!

Here is the recipe~
