The Flower Challenge #40 - Shaped Cards

Hello friends.  The Flower Challenge is a FUN one this month with SHAPED CARDS!


With Valentine's Day coming up, I just had to make a heart shaped card using one of my favorite dies...Stitched Primitive Heart Dies from PTI.


I die cut the heart from Real Red cardstock and then stitched around the heart using white crochet thread.  Next I added the floral spray and sentiment using the Pine Blossom stamp set from The Greetery.  I sprayed the card within an inch of it's life with Sheer Shimmer Sparkle Spritz and then added a few clear gems.  Here's a closer up to see all the sparkle:


And it sparkles even more in real life!!  I die cut another heart in white and then scored it at a half inch from the top and then adhered it to the red heart at the very top so you can open the card like a top fold card.


Here you can see just a bit of the bottom layer of the card.  My mom loves bright colors, so this card will be going to her for Valentine's Day!

LOT'S of BEAUTIFUL cards from the DT this month and even more already in the gallery, so check it out and then play along right HERE.

Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!
