Hearts

Today’s card was made in response to our team weekly sketch challenge. I used the Flannel Life Background Stamp for the hearts.  They were die cut using the Hearts Felt Die Set. I used the Foam Squares to pop the hearts up and then splattered Dark Roast Silk over the card.  The diamonds were colored in using a Sharpie.
