I love this week's colors (CC515), and had to make another card with them! The crumb cake card front is embossed - with a strip of pp across the bottom, the heart is die cut and then stamped with the With All my Heart stamps, and the Fabulous Frames and the heart are both popped up with dimensionals. I added glossy accents to the small flowers so they are dimensional and glossy. Added the sentiment flag and the heart border (made of white with glitter flourishes cs). Love how it turned out! Linking also to F4A258 (tiny art) - the opening in the frame for my heart is exactly 2 1/2 x 2 1/2".

What a great "traditional Valentine" in very different colors, but you sure made it work well - love that heart framed in the polka dotted red DP!!

So beautiful! I LOVE that frame! All your elements fit together so seamlessly. What wonderful use of those challenge colours. Very pretty without being frilly if you know what I mean. TFS

This card jumps right off of the page, Maura! You used the colors in the challenge so effectively. The shade of red and the darker brown compliment each other so well and the pop of white is perfect visually to brighten the card. I am sure there is some official art term, too! I LOVE another one of your cards, my friend!!
