The  Bitten by the Bug 2  challenge blog has a challenge up this week. The challenge is to create a project with a heart on it. I am running low on my stock of hand made cards so I decided to participate! To create my card I used two different cut files from Design Space. The main part of the card comes from the Creative Everyday Cards cartridge. I removed the work "love" and replaced it with a heart die cut from the Gypsy Wanderings cartridge.  The paper comes from the My Mind's Eye - Filled with Love paper stack and I used distressing ink on the edges of the cuts. Check out the finished product: The card is cut at 11 inches wide by 5.5 inches tall The heart is 1.8 inches tall Thank you so much for stopping by! Blessings,
