BBTB Wedding Heart Challenge and Day 21







My day 21 of Jen's card a day challenge is this week's challenge at Bitten by the Bug. We were to use the heart cut from the Wedding Solutions cartridge. This is my favorite heart cut and I even used it last week for my Valentine door hanger and for a split second considered using that design but I'd already posted it on my blog, and hey, wouldn't that be cheating? LOL Instead I designed a gate fold card using Design Studio using Plantin Schoolbook for the rectangle and the shadow feature of the hearts for the cut outs. The top layer was designed in the same manner. I adhered another shadow of the heart to the inside to show through the opening and popped the gorgeous filigree heart on top. I embellished with silver adhesive beads, organdy ribbon, and metallic hearts from JoAnn's. the "kisses" is from the $ bin at Michael's. Patterned paper is from K & Co. Be sure to check out the beautiful creations from the Design Team at Bitten by the Bug, and also Jen's blog for even more inspiration.
