Hearts - Red, Pink and White

Hello, it's not long till Valentine's Day so there are a few

challenges floating around in Blogland for the 'love fest'.

Today at Cardz 4 Galz  our new challenge, chosen by Amy is

Challenge #89

Hearts - the twist is you must use Red, Pink and White.

Please visit the challenge blog to see the few details and 

of course, to see what the DT have created. 

My card was in a way, inspired by one I saw on Pinterest. 

Black and red carad for matting. White card embossed

half way with a large dot embossing folder.

The large red heart was a gift from  a craft buddy, the remainder 

hearts are pieces of spare card from my stash, cut  with

various heart dies.  The 'love' stamp is an old one in my stash.

My T is for Trees and Thinking of You.

A 5x7 card, with a green patterned paper for the background.

I blended  DI Mustard Seed and Peeled paint across

the card. Dried the ink with my heat tool.

I scribbled two lines around the card to give it an edge.
