This is my 2nd sample for CC567. I am your hostess this week and I chose strawberry slush, mint macaron and early espresso for my color trio. Dessert this week is to make a Valentine using these non-traditional colors.
I went with the Valentine option and I am using some new to me dies and stamps I just purchased from Taylored Expressions.
My background hearts are cut in early espresso and I added in strawberry slush and mint macaron hearts. Layered this over very vanilla cardstock and my base is strawberry slush.
My cute images are from the "little bits - pb & j" dies. I cut the peanut butter from kraft cardstock and the jelly from strawberry slush. The sentiment is from the "we go together" stamp set and stamped on mint macaron card stock.
Well that's it for me for this week. Hope you can play along with us. You may be our next fave of the week and that gets you a chance to be a guest designer with the CC Team.

My DH's **every day*** lunch, and I am not kidding! How cute is this?!?! I might have to get those dies! And I see what you did with that background that I loved on the other card. You switched some colors around and created something new and fresh! Love this card!

I thought that great design was printed background paper until I read your description! Awesome embedded design here. I love the different color hearts! Your stamps are too darn cute! Mary thanks for the fun colors this week and for inviting me to join the team as a guest designer! It has been a blast!

I absolutely adore both of these darling cards - lot's of great techniques, nice layout, and charm galore! Another card that could be used for BD, Valentine's Day, or just, hey how are you! Love em' both.
