Welcome to December's Close To My Heart, Stamp of the Month, Blog Hop! What a mouthful, LOL. If you just joined us from Judy's blog then you're on the right path.
This month's stamp set has so many versatile uses and with Valentines Day right around the corner, it's a must. I random stamped the back of my card using the top portion of the larger heart. The sentiment is from this collection. The flower was made using the stamp set too. I just took the smaller heart and used the top third and stamped it in a line along the edge of a piece of cardstock. Then I cut out the scalloped edge and added some cocoa ink to the edges with a sponge dauber for depth. Next I punched out a circle from my CTMH circle punch and started working the flower. With a heavy drop of glue in the center of the circle I twisted and folded the scalloped border into a rose. Once I had it completed the shape I wanted I held it in place for a minute or two for the glue to set...and bang...I've had an adorable flower. I added some mocha opaques to the center and you had a beautiful embellishment. You can easily do this for your card or layout.
