My project for you today uses some brand-new stamps I received from Verve stamps! I just love this set and think it works super with my favorite Flower Soft color - Ultra Fine Strawberry Flower Soft.
The base for this card is made from black cardstock. I used some My Mind's Eye Quite Contrary Collection for the cute gingham patterned paper. I stamped the heart image from the Love Story stamp set from Verve, 3 times using Tuxedo Black Memento ink. I colored in the images and cut/emboss them using Classic Squares Lg Nestabilities™. I layered them onto black cardstock cut/embossed using Labels Fifteen Nestabilities
™. I stamped the sentiment onto a white piece of cardstock and cut/embossed from Labels Four Nestabilities
™. After I layered everything together, I stamped the heart image one more time and colored, cut and applied the
Ultra Fine Strawberry Flower Soft . I used up some left over pieces of a gem flourish from Prima for my embellishment.
Here is a close up of the
Ultra Fine Strawberry Flower Soft:

Really beautiful, Debbie!! Love red black, and white! The FS looks lovely on the heart.

I love how you only put FS on the middle heart. It really pops out at you! It's nice to see FS used on something other than flowers! One of my favorite color combos is black, red, and white so I really am lovin' this card.
