Hearts & a Bird

I discovered a new-to-me challenge during a blog hop over the holidays and decided to play along with the January 2014 SFYTT over at ReverseConfetti. I used some pretty new soft green dsp I received as a Christmas gift from a sweet friend, along with some older dsp from the sugared collection. The image was a free pre-colored digi download from MeinLilaPark. The sentiment is from Unity, and I split it into pieces and stamped them on matching dsp from the sugared papers. I added some bling I've had in my collection forever. The pink panel was done with an older CB ef that matched the papers, but I'm sorry I don't know the name of the folder.

This card was made for the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge which is "new beginnings" or something new. My something new is that cute bow punch I picked up for half price during a new year's sale. I layered it up with several different heart shapes and a silver heart-shaped doily. The sentiment is from Lawn Fawn and was also embossed with silver. The white heart was cut with my Cricut and run through the paper crimper, while the black heart was done with a heart-shaped template from Fiskars. The small white heart was punched and I added a tiny black brad to the center to hold it all together.

That's all I have for today, but thank you for stopping by and spending a few minutes of your day with me!
