Quick and Simple Love

Hi friends! Here is a super quick and simple card. A bit of embossing, a bit of DSP and a heart cut out using the Hearts Collection Framelits Die, and voila! A pretty little card to send off to a friend!

Ingredients: (All SU!)
Hearts Collection Framelits Die, Poppy Parade DSP and CS, Basic Black Classic Ink, Framed Tulips Embossing Folder, P.S. I Love You Stamp Set.

LOVE the Build a Blossom Set!

ETA: OMGoodness! Check THIS out! Thanks Keesh and the rest of the Inkspirations DT! You girls rock!

I love, love, LOVE the Build a Blossom Stamp Set, and Blossom Petals Punch! I've had such fun playing with it and creating unusual things (see here and here), but I haven't had the chance to use them in a more traditional manner. Today I finally got that chance and, boy, I LOVE it even more now! This card was made for Makeesha's Inkspirations Challenge #60. The challenge was to use the colors So Saffron, Wild Wasabi, Rose Red, and Whisper White, which made this card a "must make" today! It's been a long time since I've participated in a challenge, and I do want to get back to them. What's your fave challenge site? Some of my old standby's have disappeared, so I'm open to suggestions! Please leave me a comment with your fave site, and I'll pop by to visit!!!

Have a great afternoon everyone, it's been a GORGEOUS sunny day here, AND I got a surprise flower delivery today, so it's rounding out to be an A +++ day! :o)
