Friendly Bloomin’ Heart

IMG_7457Hearts aren’t just for valentines.  Send one to someone just to show you care.  We all have that special friend who means a lot to us.  They’re always there for us even if we don’t see them or talk to them often.  This is the perfect card for that friend.

When I was trying to design a card using this fabulous Bloomin’ Heart Thinlit I was having a hard time.  I was trying to put it on a regular size card and I just wasn’t liking it.  So of course I went to my new favorite size card……4 1/4″ x 4 1/4″.  If you don’t believe it’s my favorite card size you should have been at one of my classes last week.  Three of the five cards that we made were this size!  🙂

The card itself is pretty simple.  Just a few layers, the heart, the banner and a few pearls.  The banner stamp is in the Bloomin’ Love stamp set but the framelit for isn’t with the Bloomin’ Heart Thinlit.  It’s actually in the Large Numbers Framelits set.

I actually used Rose Red on this card.  I can’t remember the last time I used Rose Red.  It’s not a color that jumps out and grabs me and it’s definitely not one of my go-to colors.  It works perfectly on this card.  What color have you used lately that you usually don’t use?  Leave me a comment and let me know.

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!
