GDT Card for Heart's Quest Challenge - Anything With a Heart Goes/Black and White

 


Today I'm excited to be joining the team on the Heart's Quest Challenge Blog as a Guest Designer!


Challenges are anything goes with a heart and each month there's an option to follow - this month it's to use the colours black and white.

For more information about the challenge and to see the cards from the rest of the team, head over to the challenge blog here.

Here's another view of my card:


I decided to follow the colour option and used a heart die from X-Cut to die cut two black and two white hearts.

Then I used squares of back and white card and added a layered base.  I finished the card by adding contrasting sentiments to the hearts.  A very simple card but I'm pleased with the result!
