Hearts for You
Welcome to Monday!
This week’s challenge for the Outlines Rubber Stamps team is to use a heart on the creation .. at least one heart, but more is fine. Of course, with Valentines day approaching, this is a great time to warm up your heart stamps or heart embellishments, etc.
I chose to use the “Layered Heart” stamp for my card. The image was stamped twice with 
VersaMark in, then heat embossed in silver.
It has been so gray and dreary here, that I opted for non-traditional, yet happy colors. (Secretly, I’m ready to move on to Spring weather!) The hearts were softly colored, then trimmed for layering & lifting with foam dimensional tape. The extra larger shape was used for the inside along with the sentiment.
For the silver embossed edges, I scuffed the VersaMark ink along all edges of the pentagon, the heat embossed for a random appearance. The top fold is secured with a strong adhesive, then stitched with silver metallic cord 
for the appearance of a hinge.
Please feel welcome to check out these beautiful blogs for more great ideas: Jeanne Streiff, Jenny Gropp, Lisa Silver, Robin Kirkpatrick, Sandy Hulsart, & Vicki Garrett. We love hearing your thoughts & hope you find something to jump-start your own creativity along the way!

Great card, Bev.
What a great way to use this stamp!
Wow, this is so elegant looking, what an imagination you have. I love the silver, blue and green color combination and all the fab layering.
This is so lovely, I adore the color choices and the silver edging — just beautiful!!!
This is gorgeous, Bev, a real eye catcher! I like how you layered the hearts with dimensionals and added the silver embossing on the edge.
I’m looking forward to some sunshine over this way too :-)!
Oh Bev!!! This is just stunning! I just love the way you layered the heart on your card! Amazing!
