Kelly (kellyjg) enhanced my crafting tool box when she provided a technique for the TLC594 that I've not completed before. I enjoyed creating with the technique, Kelly! You can find info about the technique here: Forums at Splitcoaststampers
I didn't want to use the typical red when creating a heart, so I browsed my old SU DSP. I don't recall when it was released, but I found the SU Parisian Breeze Specialty DSP and recalled how much I loved it when it came out. I decided to use it for the Explosion Heart Card.
The colors for this DSP are Baja Breeze, Chocolate Chip, and "Kraft". It's a heavy two-sided DSP, which was good for making the explosion heart. I designed my card around one of my sisters who is dealing with all the complications of ampullary cancer (very rare cancer) and related treatments. I wanted her to know that she means the world to me; thus, I used the "world" die on the front and the "You mean the world to me" sentiment on the inside.
TFL and leaving comments!!

It's great when a daily challenge works so well to create a card we need. The combination of the heart shape and your message will speak so much to your sister. I'm definitely going to find some heavy DP next time I try this.

Bev this is so beautiful, I love the non-traditional heart colours. What a precious creation for your sister. I am so sorry to read of her illness. Big hugs to you my friend. xxx

Oh, Bev, this is a beautiful DP, and I still have some and know that it's perfect for this kind of card. I love seeing the inside, and she is going to love it as well! Praying, sweet friend! (Oh, I pray for a cure for cancer.)
