This week's "Hearts Galore Challenge" over at H2H pairs perfectly with my next project.
I had all of these lovely scraps left over from my Ivy Lane packet, and noticed that the Reflections Main Frame - Quilt Blocks pattern used 1 3/4 x 1 3/4 size squares, which was the exact same size square from the new Inspiration Flourishes stamp set. A perfect fit.
It's confession time: I didn't really care for that Ivy Lane Green cardstock until I did this layout. It pops beautifully against the bamboo of the base.
Recipe:
Paper: Ivy Lane, Ivy Lane Green CS, Bamboo CS, White Daisy CS (CTMH)
Stamps: Inspiration Flourishes, Whooo's Your Valentine (retired), It's Your Day (retired) (CTMH)
Inks: Smokey Plum, Hollyhock, Sweet Leaf, Black (CTMH)
Tools: Paper-Piercer, Micro-Tip Scissors (CTMH)
Other: Purple Glitter Gems, White Embroidery Floss (CTMH)
I wish you all a Happy Valentine's Day.

I decided to make another quick card today. There are just too many cute challenges out this week, and I don't want to miss out on playing along.
Recipe:
Paper: For Always (retired), White Daisy CS, Smoothie CS (CTMH)
Stamps: A Bowwow, Doodle Signs, Inspiration Flourishes (CTMH)
Inks: Slate, Hollyhock (CTMH)
Tools: 1 1/4" Circle Punch, Micro-Tip Scissors, Paper-Piercer (CTMH)

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
1. Retro Sketches RS#99 Challenge
2. Dynamic Duos DD#87 Challenge
3. Muse Challenge #52
Retro Sketches created an awesome sketch this week. This card went together really fast. I really like the Muse Challenge card, too. The flourishes, sparkles, and chevrons made my heart happy. I even stamped the inside of this card in juniper ink with the sentiment "You inspire me".
So, I hope I have inspired you today. Have a wonderful day!
