Love Ya!


 I was really feeling the love when I made this card! LOL The big Love Ya die is from Lawn Fawn and I cut it with a mix of black & white cardstock bits along with some red polka dot papers, and some red glitter card for the 3 hearts. The background was done with an ancient Sizzix Curlique Hearts embossing folder and that cute little mouse is from Gerda Steiner Designs. I stamped, colored and fussy cut him, adding red glaze pen accents to the little heart he's holding.

Sharing this card with the following challenges:

The Allsorts Challenge week 788 - Romantic Occasions or A/G

Word Power Challenge #7 - make the sentiment the focus of your card

Critter Crazy Challenge #88 - A/G with a featured critter

Can You Handle the Pressure? - A/G embossing *optional twist "sports"

A Cut Above Die Cut Challenge - use a die cut and start off with a bang

Cut it Up Challenge #307 - Critters (real or fantasy)

Wishing you all a wonderful day and remember to spread the love. Thanks for stopping by!

Awe! This is so very sweet with that little mouse holding his heart out! Love how you've inlaid the mix of pattern papers within the heat die including the sparkly hearts! Looks like there's some fun things to do with that! The texture hearts in the background are perfect too! Super cute Carol!

Your card is absolutely adorable and full of love! Mixing black and white cardstock with red polka dot paper and glitter cardstock must have created a stunning contrast. The Sizzix Curlique Hearts embossing folder adds a lovely texture, and the Gerda Steiner Designs mouse with its red glaze pen accents sounds like the perfect touch of whimsy and charm!
