Heart Shaped Bundle & Toadstool Gardens!

Welcome to Create With Stamping Friends Creatively Simple! Connie and I create simple cards with a theme each week and for this month, this is our theme:

Valentine’s Day is almost here so what a perfect time to get busy with our Hearts theme. I decided to go with a non-traditional color assortment for my card today. It even fits the bill for a masculine Valentine’s Day card if you choose to go that route. I used Azure Afternoon and Summer Splash for my two non-traditional colors:

I added two rows of vertical hearts surrounded by some pretty diecut flowers:
