Today is the monthly blog hop at Papertrey Ink. I truly did not expect to get a card made for the hop, but found some time this afternoon to play around. I love the pretty inspiration piece.
Strangely, considering the number of Papertrey Ink stamps and dies I own, I didn't own a single Papertrey heart die. I found one by Concord and 9th, however, that seemed made for this challenge. The die itself is designed to cut the heart into a larger piece of cardstock, but I was able to fussy cut around the outside edge to create the heart I was looking for. I adhered it to my new "Shape Shifters Oval 4" die cut from a piece of Pink Peony Bitty Big patterned paper and then to a white top-folded card.
To replicate the pretty flowers, I fussy cut a group of flowers from the Make It Market kit, "Color Pop Florals," and then added a sentiment die cut from "Swoosh" in Hibiscus Burst. All in all, I'm happy to have my first Valentine made!
