February has arrived!

It is February...FINALLY! Here in Indiana we have a had a long January with the most recorded snow on record for this area. February is a big month in our house and it starts with my husband's birthday..today! Since it is the month of hearts as well I thought I would make him a card to celebrate both! (I won't actually give him the card but I will let him look at it!! LOL!!)
I decided to join a few challenges too! I used the Addicted to Stamps and More Photo Challenge for my inspiration. I liked all the hearts with words on them and the sparkle on the box. A new Challenge I saw is called Fusion. I used the color scheme and the sketch layout with this challenge. The last is Addicted to CAS with the code word: LOVE.

 
I first started with layering different Heart shaped framelits. I used the negative space and backed it with Basic Black. I then used more framelits to layer smaller heart shapes inside the negative space. I used the Heart Punch for the smaller hearts as well as the Owl Punch for the tiniest hearts. I loved the look of adding some glimmer paper as well as some dazzling details to the smallest hearts. One of the things I love to do is add the littlest details at the end. Sometimes I have a hard time stopping.

 I liked how using dimensionals really helped with the layering. This was a fun little card to create! Thanks for stopping by!!
