happy heart day

Well, it isn't really heart day - but I just couldn't resist getting some happy love cards up on the old blog-O.  And look at that - today is my blog-o-versary to boot!  I can't believe I've been blogging for 2 years!  What a crazy journey it's been - and that is a fantastic crazy.  OK, back to the this delish card.  I started by stamping this fun little tree from Love Everywhere in Memento Rich Cocoa and then added the hearts to it.  I wanted to add some dimension to the main image, so I popped a few hearts up on dimensionals and then stamped and cut out the park bench and popped it up as well.  I love having images overlap the edge of a panel - it makes the card feel more 3-D to me.  I also sponged the Choice Buttercream card stock with Pink Pirouette ink to make it a bit more soft.  The paper and ribbon is from the Valentine Key Ingredients kit, which made this card SO easy to bring together.  No guesswork on what matches - love that.  The layout is from Julee's MOJO121.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  See you back soon -
