Honest, I tried to keep it simple, but I got inspired by a card made by Becky at Scrappin And Stampin: https://goo.gl/qaNUIg I flipped the card, changed the colors and proportions, but she was my inspiration.
The two stamps from Stampin' Up's Gorgeous Grunge set were used to created the vertical lines and random dots. All the hears were punched (3 for each color) and attached with Mini Glue dots except for the largest red heart. That one was punched, then run through my Big Shot using the corner of the Scrollwork embossing folder. I then mounted it with Adhesive Foam Strips.
Since I intend this to be a Valentine card, I wanted the sentiment to be appropriate for my sweetheart. The word "love" has extended tails on both sides, so I covered most of the tails up with Post-It Notes before inking it, then removed the Post-It Notes and stamped the word at the bottom of the card slightly off-center.
I hope I get extra points for at least TRYING to make a CAS card :-D

Donna I can see why you were inspired by the original card, it's awesome. I love the flip on your version and the colour combo for the hearts. Simply styled and beautiful. I'm also thrilled that you joined us for the Watercooler Wednesday Challenge, I was getting a bit worried that no one was joining in. Lol!

Glad you like my version of the card, Penny! I think most of the card challenges this week and last are running light. Everyone is so caught up in the holidays. My housefull of relatives have left, and I'm interspersing my house cleaning with soothing card making. Happy New Year!
