Cheerful friend

Happy Friday!!!  It's time for a new challenge from the Cut It Up Challenge Blog.  This week, the challenge is: My Heart

Here is my card for your inspiration:

This challenge is the perfect excuse to start making those Valentine's Day cards.  My card started with the die cut floral panel in the center of my card.  It has been lying on my desk for months, a left over from a previous project.  I pulled out an old set from Verve "Text Objects" for the sentiment and also for those fun hearts.  I stamped them on patterned paper from the same paper pack as the blue papers and fussy cut them out.  I decided to stamp the sentiment on vellum to keep a soft look; white cardstock seemed like it would be too bright.  I finished it all off with some pink pearls.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you will hop over to the Cut It Up blog for the full details of the challenge and to see what the rest of the Design Team has created.
