You Make My Heart Happy

 Goooood morning!  I was honored to be asked to be a guest designer for the Time Out Challenge blog this month. Here's the inspiration graphic for you:

And here is my creation using sparkle, red, hearts, and aperture:

I created my "aperture" by ink blending Candied Apple Distress Oxide Ink all over a piece of watercolor paper. I misted with water and blotted with a paper towel, then die cut the heart out of the center. I used foam strips to attach it to a gray cardstock base. I die cut the heart from the larger heart scrap and attached it with a foam dimensional square. I die cut the "xo" from the same gray cardstock and attached to the card with adhesive. I printed out Love You This Much - Love Always from Polkadoodles, colored with Copics and a glitter pen and fussy cut him. I used more foam tape to attach part of him to the inside and adhesive on the parts that are attached to the outside. Sentiment is from CC Designs Swissie Love set, stamped with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I finished it off with some rhinestone stickers.

I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:

We Love Stamping - AG/Optional Hearts

Shopping Our Stash #566 - Love Me Do (die cut pieces from my stash)

Little Red Wagon #844 - Picturing Love

A Place to Start - AG/Optional Small Critters

Inkspirational #360 - XOXO

Peace.
