STB #299 - Add A Heart


Joann is in the Valentine spirit with her challenge for this next two weeks. She just wants us to add a heart to our cards. Easy enough and there are so many ways to do this. 



I was thinking Pink and blue and green for my card. Once again, I used many company's
 to accomplish this. 

Supplies:
Pink Fresh Stencil Geometric Tile
Inks are GKD Sea Glass, Apple Mint, Bubble Gum
Fancy Edges 
MFT dynamics Stitched Hearts
The Greetery Botani Cuts palm die and Fit to be Tied. 

If you are not into toppings, just make sure that it is a birthday theme. We love to see those too. 

Also, you should go over to the blog for more inspiration from the team. They have great ideas. 


That include the Surprise Party Guest Amanda Mertz and our past winners who are design guest as well.
If you enter, you have a chance to be picked as a guest too.
