Day 3 of CDS sneak peeks. "Hearts in Bloom"

Hi again!

Hope you all are enjoying Clear Dollar Stamps sneak peeks as much as I am. The girls always do awesome cards but they have all outdone them selves this time! Having all of these beautiful stamps to play with sure doesn't hurt either!

This beautiful flourished plume is from the wonderfully sweet Laurie Wilson's bloomin' imagination. LOL!

It is called "Plumes and Blooms" and has several pretty images to choose from. It releases Feb. 1st .

I was going to use this set in pastels and add lots of tiny paper flowers but then I thought about Valentine's day and how we all need to make some pretty but simple cards to give. I even slapped my own hand as I started towards the sewing machine with paper in tow. This CAS card only took about 30 minutes to make. You could whip them up even quicker if you do more then one at a time!

The papers are from The Paper Temptress. You know I love their papers!

They are:

Laser Black Glossy Lustre

Blanc Sparkle

Neenah Solar White

Neenah Black

This card fits into this week's "Clearly Inspired Challenge" #6 which is a color challenge to use red, white, black and pink if you want.

I am also entering this card in the following challenges:

Lil' Red Wagon - Hearts

The Secret Crafter Saturday - Hearts

Die Cuts R Us - Ribbon
Sweet Stampin' - Scallops
Fussy and Fancy  Friday- Hearts
Stamp Scrap and Doodle Saturdays - Open
Flutter By Wednesday - Use a Butterfly, Fairy, or Angel
It is a tiny little butterfly but he is there on the small heart! ;)

Here is a close up of that awesome Laser Black Glossy Lustre paper.

Please make sure and check out the beautiful cards the other girls have done with this set.
