#GDP427 Hearts of Love

Whew! I've had a successfully busy week making cards and sharing them on my facebook page to share products from the Sale-A-Bration.  However, I wasn't quite together enough to also post to my blog.

In keeping with my goal to participate in Blog Challenges I decided to jump in on the Global Design Project #427 for the theme of Hearts. Check out the Challenge and play along here http://www.global-design-project.com/.  Updated to add, I missed the deadline! I thought it was 6pm, but it is 2pm on Tuesdays.  Will try again next time!

Today I took my inspiration from one of the 1st Quilts I ever made.  It is a Kwik Krazy Heart quilt featuring pinks and browns (think Chocolate covered cherries, yum!).  In the fabric world, it is very hard to find pinks and browns that coordinate together, I remember it took me quite a while to pull my color collection and visits to many quilt shops. I love pulling it out and featuring it on my sofa for Valentine's Day.  Luckily Stampin' Up! is an excellent provider of coordinating project supplies, so pulling this card together was much easier. 

 

 

Here I use the Online Exclusive Radiating Stitches Dies heart cutout.  Colors include Petal Pink, Copper Clay, and Rose Gold.  The Designer series paper for the background is the Petal Pink 6x6 InColor paper.  The polk-a-dot hearts are from paper in the Sale-A-Bration catalogue, Trusty Toolbox.  I believe it is intended to be a "corkboard" look, but it made the cutest hearts here.  I used a strip of Rose Gold specialty paper to off set the hearts.  The Sentiment is from the Super Cool stamp set.  The sentiment shape is retired, stitched shapes as is the Petal Pink cotton ribbon and the textured embossing folder.  I love a simple dry emboss texture to elevate a card layer.  I added an InColor dot to embellish the Petal Pink heart.

I hope you enjoy this simple in color, simple in stamping, but otherwise gorgeous card inspired by the Hearts theme.
