Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I've had so much fun with hearts this month!
This time I used a NBUS stitched heart from Memory Box.
(I told myself that I had more than enough hearts, but this sweet stitched set
had to come stay with me!)
I used the heart that cut out from inside the stitched to emboss with the
Heart Bouquet Embossing Folder and popped it back in.
The poppy flowers were die cut from a piece of floating alcohol ink background.
I doodled around the edge for some more black contrast.
The Time Out Challenge is asking for us to CAS a card by my sweet and talented
friend Michele. Here's her card....
I've been inspired by the stitched heart and used embossing for texture instead of
die cutting, decorated my heart with pink, and stuck with the love theme.
Challenges:
Time Out Challenge #207 - CASEing Michele
Double D Challenge - Shades of Pink
Memory Box #81 - Tickled Pink
NBUS #35 - Never Before Used Schtuff (Stitched Heart Die)

What a beautiful take on Michele's card Bonnie! I love your bit of black with the thin mat, doodles and flower center and string-give a touch of elegance because it is so subtle. Loving the double stitched lines on your heart and the embossing in the background, makes a lovely fanciful heart! Just a beautiful card all the way around! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteBonnie, I love that you kept your sweet flowers tucked inside your sweet, stitched heart! You know by now that embossing is totally my jam - such a good time to use one behind those Poppies? Yes! We do love our Poppies!
ReplyDeleteThank you so very much for playing along...

What a lovely card. So glad to see the dots and dashes...it really adds ti the look and I hope to remember to try it.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Your embossed heat is so pretty stuck back in the but out area. Those pink poppies look perfect stuck in the opening. Your doodling around the edges is a great touch to your beautiful card.
ReplyDeleteOoops, embossed heart, not heat. :)
ReplyDeleteThis one is SO eye-appealing, Bonnie! I understand the need to buy things we really don’t need too! I’m guilty. The pink poppies look fabulous in that heart shaped die cut and love the doodling. Beautiful card!
ReplyDeleteThe first thing to catch my eye was the doodling! I wondered if it was a stamp and you did it! Bonnie, it looks like a stamp and I am so impressed. The poppy on the floating AI looks gorgeous. You can never have enough "heart"(s).
ReplyDeleteYou can never have too many hearts so I totally understand why the new die had to come live at your house Bonnie!! And a perfect CASE for Michele's card...those floating AI pink poppies are SO pretty inside that embossed heart!! Always love seeing your hand drawn doodling too! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteLove it, lovely soft pink, finished off perfectly with that doodled frame. Wish I had the courage to do that xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty card and a fabulous take on Michele's wonderful card Bonnie. The stitched heart die looks fabulous, the embossing inside it adds wonderful texture and those beautiful poppies add up to one stunning card Bonnie x.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, and the doodling proves a bit of black makes thing better.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful poppies together with the prettily embossed double stitched heart Bonnie, and all from Memory Box and looking fabulous together. A great CASEing of Michele's excellent card. x
ReplyDeleteOooh, pretty idea to emboss the inner heart! Love the double stitched heart outline and those pretty flowers. I see sweetness all over this, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteLove the way you embossed the inner heart and put it back inside the stitched heart outline. Beautiful use of your floating AI piece to die cut those lovely flowers. And great black details for contrast.
ReplyDeleteI like those pretty little blooms tucked into the heart! This is a lovely card, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, such a pretty heart and flowers! Thank you for joining our challenge at Double D!

Adorable CASE of Michele's sweet card -- yours turned out fantastic, and doesn't it feel good to use that purchase?!
ReplyDeleteTerrific, Bonnie! I love all the layered borders, including the doodled one, and the embossing on the heart looks great behind the wonderful poppies.
ReplyDeleteOh what a pretty heart card Bonnie... love the layers of stitched, embossed and die cuts... the black string bow ties it all together fabulously, Robyn
ReplyDeleteSo very pretty and I adore the extra touches that you added. Thanks so much for sharing it with us at Double D Challenge.
ReplyDeleteOH Bonnie, this is just stunning! LOVE the overall design and how clever is that embossed background behind your dimensionalized flowers within the heart! FABULOUS! Love the faux stitching too. WELL DONE my friend! Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our Double D ‘Shades of Pink’ challenge! Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back often.
