I thought I was finished posting cards earlier today but I had time to squeeze in one more challenge card for the Mod Squad DIY challenge to make your own background. I started off with a piece of long-retired glossy cardstock from SU! and stamped it in Versamark ink with a polka dot background stamp then heat-embossed it with white ep. I sponged in pale colors of blue, pink, yellow, green & lavender inks randomly. Next I die cut the SSS Hearts Parade die from heavy yellow cardstock, along with assorted dsp snippets and put them all together to make a fun focal point. I turned down one corner, adding a die cut heart and a mini brad, and stamped the sentiment on coordinating cardstock. I just love this row of hearts with all the different colors and designs!
This qualifies for another contribution to the Snippets Playground #119, so I'll be taking it over there too!
And now I'm really done for today! I'll be back again tomorrow :)
Thanks again for stopping by, and make it a great evening!

Cool background, and I LOVE those hearts!!
A definite WOW background. But the hearts really stole mine. The outline reminded me of very fine embroidery or applique around the pretty snippets. What a beautiful card. Loved it. TFS & Hugs
Fabulous card, I love the hearts and the embossed dots.
