Hi! This card was made for today's Color Combination Challenge: Basic Black, Whisper White and River Rock.
I just received new stamps from Flourishes! I love this stamp, and I have wanted it ever since Sharon, notimetostamp first used it for a challenge! Thank you Sharon, for enabling me! LOL!
The heart and sentiment were stamped in VersaMark and embossed in Black Detail. I then outlined both pieces with Basic Black paper.
The flower is from SU!'s Pretties Kit. I used the small flower paper center for the stem. (I had tried, 4 times, to color the little ball with a Sharpie, but they kept falling apart...
To created the frilly center, I punched a 1/2" circle and edged it with SU! marker. Then, I smashed it between my fingers to break the fibers so the card stock would seperate. Then, I used a brad to secure it to the flower.
The hat pin is from the Pretties Kit. I used Markie's "junk" beads to embellish, since he was ASLEEP when I made this!LOL!

I love, love, love it!!! That heart looks so great in black and I love the beads you used on the pin! I have never gotten one of those tiny Pretties stems/stamens to work either -- every single one has fallen apart on me! This is just gorgoues!!! So glad you made your purchase!!! I'll be anxious to see what else you come up with!!!
