For this card, I was inspired by my friend Sharon's color challenge this week at Stampin' Addicts, as well as this week's Saturday Sketch Challenge at Stamping 411...
The I {Heart} Hearts stamp set is wonderful for more than just Valentine's Day, and more than just for saying "I love you". Plus, when you purchase this set from your demonstrator through February 28, 2010, Stampin' Up! will donate $2 to the American Red Cross' Haiti Relief and Development Fund. It's one of my favorite sets, so if you don't have it.. what are you waiting for?? :)
I love using all of these hearts in the set together.. it creates such a whimsical yet connected look. The Kraft heart was simply punched out using the Full Heart punch, then stamped with VersaMark using the flower vine from the Vintage Vogue set. I created the panel on the left by punching the Scallop Trim border, then scoring the edge and folding it over, tucking the Designer Series Paper inside. This has to be my new favorite border punch!
