The limited supply challenge today is to "stretch yourself" by creating something with two or more things that are a stretch for you, outside your usual style. On this card, I used white craft ink, which I don't often bother with because it takes long to dry. But I'm finding that I like it for embossing, so maybe it will become more the norm.
The other difference is the layers. I typically have a darker mat around the main image panels and leave space around all the card edges. For this card, all the paper and panels run horizontally edge to edge with no mat. Also tried somewhat of a tone on tone with the white layers. Kind of like the look.
The stamp set and designer paper are from the on-going SU! Sale-a-bration--Polka Dot Punches and Delicate Dots paper. Stamped the heart in white craft ink onto Bashful Blue and Sahara Sand, then heat embossed with white detail embossing powder. Punched them out with the new full heart punch. Used the eyelet border punch to make a 1" white strip and layered on top of it a 1/2" white strip that was run through the Cuttlebug with the Swiss Dots embossing folder. The Bashful Blue and Kraft taffeta ribbons are secured underneath this narrow strip. Added some bows with pop dots. Ran the bottom of the card base through the Swiss Dots folder, too.

Very impressive and interesting to look at. I love how you did the 3 hearts hanging down with the ribbon/bows. Fantastic job. I may have to try this when I get my stamp set this week. TFS.
