Tilda with floating hearts

It’s time for a new challenge over at Magnolia Stamp Lovers and this time we would like to see you use one color (monochrome) or no color on your image. Since I love to color I had to go monochrome and I am so glad I did. Here is my card.

I chose to use pink … one of my favorite colors. The following materials were used to create this card. The hearts on the side I made by taking the Spellbinders classic hearts and
tracing around the edges and then cutting it out to make my own on edge decoration.

• Tilda with floating hearts
• Spellbinders Card Creator Polka Dot
• Glitter from my stash
• Core’dinations cardstock
• DP from my stash
• Glass flowers from Patricia’s Etsy shop
