Say it With Hearts!


Good Afternoon!
It's challenge time again at AnnaBelle Stamps! Say it with hearts.... so fun! I have 2 cards to share with you today!


This cards inspiration came from a card I saw on Pintrest. You can see it here. I love the contrast of the crumb cake with the cherry cobbler and night of navy! My card base is cherry cobbler layered with very vanilla, cherry cobbler and crumb cake. I stamped around the edges with a sentiment from dotted flowers. I used BGBD 7 to create the hearts!


This card was created using love birds. It was really hard to get a good picture of this one! My card base is crumb cake layered twice with very vanilla! The heart was stamped in cherry cobbler!
Be sure and check out what the rest of the DT has to share! You can find their links on my sidebar!
