Take it to Heart and Hearts Framelits - Valentine Card

Are you enjoying the new Stampin' Up! Hearts Framelits? Aren't they fantastic? Or maybe you haven't ordered them yet! Please do; you'll love them! I used one when developing this card.

I water colored the primary element on this card - the stamped bird and flowers heart-shaped image that is from the gorgeous stamp set, Take it to Heart. I used one of the Hearts Framelits to cut out the stamped image. I used the same framelit to cut out the heart in the center of the card's first layer, the Cherry Cobbler Cardstock, and then slipped the water-colored piece inside. The banner that holds the sentiment is also from the Take it to Heart stamp set. The sentiment, "Be My Valentine", is from the Sweet Cake stamp set, and the small heart stamp from the Take it to Heart stamp set was used to stamp Cherry Cobbler ink onto the card's first layer. The card base was made with Island Indigo Cardstock. The hearts in the four corners of the card were cut out with the Heart to Heart Punch and embellished with the new hearts Adorning Accents Embossing Folder. I hope you enjoy today's feature!
