CC216 & FTTC13 - Bleeding Hearts

This card was made with two challenges in mind...the color challenge over on SCS - old olive, real red, and basic black. and FTTC13 which is this wonderful sketch from Cindy Haffner that you can see here.

I started out by coloring my image from Flourishes Spring Ephemerals set with my SU markers (real red and old olive). Once the image was stamped, I cut out the circle, along with the black mat, with my creative memories circle cutter. For the squares in the background, I used some Teresa Collins DSP cut with my label #1 nesties. The sentiment is from the flourished word stamp set which was punched out with my small and large oval punches. I then distressed all of the edges with my Tim Holtz distressing tool, and sponged everything with a bit of old olive ink. I finished off the card by popping the sentiment on a bit of black satin ribbon.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!
