Welcome back! We hope you enjoyed the holidays! I know I’m ready to get back to a “normal” schedule! This week our Create with Stamping Friends challenge has some pretty colors! I haven’t used Azure Afternoon hardly at all, so it was nice to have an opportunity to use that color!

HEARTS OF ELEGANCE
I’ve been gearing up with Valentine tutorials, so this card came together really quickly!

Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Petunia Pop cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
- The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White cardstock was stamped with the Hearts of Elegance greeting in Azure Afternoon.
- The heart was cut with the Hearts of Elegance Die from Unbounded Beauty Designer Paper and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Two flowers from Hearts of Elegance were stamped with Peach Pie Ink on Basic White and two leaves with Azure Afternoon Ink. They were cut with the Hearts of Elegance Dies and added to the side of the heart with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- A trio of peach Party Dots were added to the background.

That’s it! This could be a Valentine, Anniversary card, or really anything! OK, go check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did with this challenge over on Create with Stamping Friends.
