Elegant Happiness


Morning.  Today, I am posting a card I made using stamps from Paper Smooches for the LoveFest Challenges going on at Splitcoast.  This was a very easy, clean and simple card to create.  First I die cut a heart from Hero Arts onto a piece of scrap paper to use as my mask.  I stamped the flowers and leaves randomly inside the mask then sponged on additional colour to define the heart image.  I added the piercing and the sentiment then finished it all off by adding the black pearls.

I am adding my card to these challenges:
Simon Says- Wedding or Anniversary
The Card Concept- Floral Theme
Sister Act Card Challenge- ANYTHING GOES

Thanks so much for coming by to take a look.

Supplies:  stamps; Paper Smooches/ Distress ink/ piercing tool/ Memento bl/ heart die-Hero Arts/ twine

    The colors on this card are just gorgeous! I love how you did the masked heart, I've never heard of that technique before (I'm fairly new to this). Thanks for sharing.

    This is so pleasing to the eyes, the cool colors and the heart shape a wonderful combination. The extra touch of the pierced outline just takes it up another level.
