This card was started to fulfill the Dirty Dozen February Monthly Themes "MORE is MORE" Challenges and the first Pre-Challenge for the Alphabet Challenge Round 9, but it evolved from there to fit all but one of the February Monthly Themes. See below:
#1. Alphabet Challenge, Round 9 - pre-alphabet challenge...make a Valentine's Day card for someone special. I will make two of this card's stepped up version, and they are for a couple of cardmaking buddies.
Dirty Dozen February Monthly Themes Challenges - "Cold Hands, Warm Heart" - 2/15/18, as follows:
#2. DD February Central Theme...CT0218 - to use a heart, plus on this one I am using contrasting colors...cool blue and hot pink!
#3. DD February Themes MORE is MORE...make a simple card and then a second more elaborate one... this is my more elaborate card.
#4 DD February Themes WORD Challenge - WORD0218. Use items in your card that start with TEMP. T = Technique (Basket Weave Edge). E = Embossing Folder. M = Melon Mambo (hot pink). P = Punches (heart, arrow, small flower).
#5. DD February Themes Inspiration Photo - DINSP0218. I was inspired by the color scheme.

Carlene, this is so cool. Love each element - especially the pierced heart. This would make a cool BAJ sketch too. Beautiful!

Fabulous stepped up version of the card too with the embossing and the basket weave edge. I have wanted to do this challenge (More is More) but haven't gotten it done yet. Lovely!
