Paper Sweeties Inspiration Challenge – February 2017!

HOW will YOU be inspired this month — colors, theme, shapes, patterns?  I was inspired by the colors in the inspiration photo along with the gingham heart in this month’s beautiful photo!  (CLICK on the photos for close up views):

This was a super quick and simple card to create!  I know it looks a little fussy, but trust me – easy peesy!

I layered red cardstock onto the vanilla card base and then added a layer of text pattern paper.  I die cut the heart twice – once for the gingham center and once for the vanilla lacey border.  I die cut the sentiment banner and stamped the sentiment.  I die cut the ‘hugs’ sentiment and the two polka dotted leaves.  Adhere everything down (I used hot glue for the flower, leaves and lacey heart) and finish off with some BLING!

I used these products from the Paper Sweeties boutique to create this card:
