I didn't use a single stamp on my card today - GASP! I know, crazy, right? I adore this I Heart U die set. The large letters are bold and fabulous and should do most of the talking, right?
I cut out the letters in black card stock and then used the Heart Quartet die to cut out the hearts in bright pink and layered them over the letters. I also added a small heart in the corner with a large Pink Sparkle Sequin overlapping the edge. The banners are white vellum card stock, which I overlapped just slightly over a sheet of patterned paper. Yum!
The layout is MOJO383, and it's a contest week! Head on over and enter your card before Sunday for another chance to win more Verve goodies!
