I first die cut 2 heart silhouettes using Cricut George and Basic Shapes cart from both black and white cs. I ran the black heart through a Cuttlebug distressed stripes embossing folder to give it a little texture. After embossing a portion of the Tall Flowers image in black on the white heart I colored the flowers with markers.
I got the idea to pair a die cut word with stamped words from my blogging buddy Lisa! Thanks Lisa:) The stamped words I used (you dearly) are part of a sentiment from a Paper Smooches set called Pretty Phrases. Now the "love" part of this sentiment is actually pretty similar to the font of the die cut word "love" I used here but I wanted this word to be bigger so it would span the whole card front.
Other Supplies Used: Papertrey ink white cs, Michael's black cs, W R Memory Keepers corner rounder, Cricut Beyond Birthdays cart (love die cut)
You may have noticed that little stand I've been photographing my cards on lately and wondered what it was! Well, during our recent getaway to Hershey, PA we spent several hours in a really cool and huge antique co-op where I found this old receipt holder! It's got a square base with a spike that's perfect for holding my cards in place while I get a pic of them:)
Well, I'm off to have coffee with a friend before we all get snowed in! Happy weekend and thanks for stopping by!

Gorgeous card - I love everything about it! Those tall flowers are on my wish list,
Thanks for reminding me, once again, about my Cricut!! Here I am sitting here thinking how I don;t own any heart dies and all I need to do is cut one out with that! It would help if I put it out on my desk....Love your card- especially that "love" cut out! Beautiful font and it works perfectly with the stamped sentiment :) Glad to be of some inspiration to someone! Thanks for the heads up :)
Hope it's not too snowy there this weekend!! XX
