The challenge was to use a heart stamp for a non-Valentine card.
What do you think?
I stamped the heart from Hero Arts "Valentine Flourish" acrylic stamp set in VersaMark.
Then I heat embossed it in gold embossing powder.
I sponged the center with So Saffron and the outer edge in Old Olive.
Then I stamped the edge with the flourish stamps in VersaMark and heat embossed them with clear embossing powder.
I used my Old Olive marker to ink up the word "Together" from the Hero Arts wood mounted "Together" stamp set.
To finish things off, I added a few self adhesive pearls to the heart from Kaiser Scrapbook.
The cardstocks that I used are Whisper White, So Saffron, and Old Olive.
Well, it's been awhile since I had a Monday's Fun Day.

Great card! I love seeing how a stamp can be used for a project that is outside the box. I have never done any challenges, so I can't make any recommendations!
Don't have the talent for challenges..but wanted to say your card is just beautiful!!! :)
This is completely beautiful! My favorite challenges are always sketch challenges. I'm learning to like other challenges but tend to add them to a sketch challenge...too funny, huh? :o)
What a beautiful card! It's my first visit to your blog and will be sure to stop by again! tfs! Laura
Such a beautiful card!!! no favorite challenges...because there is not enough time with my little angel right now but hopefully in future I will take

Hi, fabulous card, first time visitor (via SCS) and will certainly be dropping in regularly. I don't participate in challenges - too much pressure :-) Thanks.
Hi, Jane! I saw your card at the store today and it is sooo lovely! Love your work - KT
Hey Jane! Came over to get your email address! I remember seeing this card at the store today too! =)I didn't know that you were an SU rep...hmmm...that might not be so good for my pocketbook!
I love your card. To answer your question - I really like sketch challenges as it forces me to carefully consider design elements.
Stunning card Jane - love the addition of the pearls!
Gorgeous card!!! I love the embossing and the pearls!!! SO elegant!
This is absolutely stunning Jane and has given me loads of ideas!
