STAMPlorations - Stamps and Hearts

Happy Friday.  
Valentine's Day is quickly approaching and I want to get a few cards made so when Shery from STAMPlorations asked me to be the Guest Designer I was in.

This month the theme of the challenge is:
http://stamplorations.blogspot.ca/search/label/monthly%20challenge

So, I began by masking then stamping  the bottom of my card front using the Subway Art Builders: Create stamp using grey Memento ink.  I scored a line about the masked area using my Scor-bug then cut the panel for interest.  
I created the heart by rubbing Picked Raspberry and Barn Door Distress inks onto my non-stick craft sheet, sprayed with water and dragged my paper through the wet ink.  I free hand cut the heart then doodled a border around the edge.  I stamped the sentiment from Penny Black then mounted the panels with pop dots.  I added the twine to finish off my card.

I am adding my card to these challenges:

Addicted to CAS- HUGS and KISSES

Simply Create Too- VALENTINE'S DAY

The Male Room- VALENTINE

The Mixed Media Challenge- LOVE



 Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.  I hope you get a chance to check out the challenge and play along. 

Supplies:  stamps- STAMPlorations, PB/ Memento ink/ pop dots/ Distress inks/ Fine line Bl Pen/ Scor-bug

    SUPER design!! It's always fun to see a card and not recognize the stamps because of the unique way the artist has used it .. I LOVE that oh ya! moment. Great having you as GD at STAMPlorations!
