The Sun is Shining Today

It is amazing what a little sunshine will do for one's disposition.  I have really been feeling the "winter blues"  lately, and today I finally felt inspired to make another card.  This one is for the current Hero Arts monthly challenge, Love and Friendship.  All you need is love, right? 



I used a basic plain white card and masked the heart shape with a Sizzix die.  The heart was inked with a combination of Anna Griffin, Shell Pink; and Hero Arts Shadow Ink, Soft Pink.  I used two Hero Arts stamps:  Stencil Art for the floral area, and Made with Love for the sentiment.  I think these two stamps go nicely together.  They were inked with Versafine, Satin Red and Spanish Moss.  Lastly, addded pearls from Recollections.
