2/7/24 - My Time To Craft #553 Hearts - Just Because with Timeless Plaid & Heart Shaped

Happy Friday and welcome back to our first challenge in February and Hearts are the theme! I challenged myself to use this chance to make a suitable masculine love card. Each stripes of DSP is cut at 1” x 3 ½”, the layering white piece is 3 ¾” x 5 (from another creator) but I think 4 ½” makes more sense and better spacing between the cards. The heart shaped wreath is cut with Misty Moonlight and I added a strips of sentiment so the heart doesn’t get lost in the DSP. I added some sequins to finish the card. I hope you enjoyed this card I am sharig today and be sure to join us at the challenge.

I am also submitting this card to Tic Tac Toe challenge #263 - using Heart, Designer Paper and Sentiment. Who says that heart shape anything need to be red, I think the wreath is also perfect with any colors that matches the cardstock and DSP! 

I am also submitting this card to Just Us Girls challenge #761 for the Heart Shaped Die / wreath. (but i wanted to check - is Just us girls meant to create ony cards for girls or it just meant the DT members are all girls?)
