Clean & Simple...and Paper Pierced

I am really loving CAS-ual Friday challenges.  They really make me think and expand my comfort zone, all while working on perfecting that wonderful CAS style! :)

For more info, click here to find out about their challenge this week. 


So, I made a 4 x 9 card last week for my brother-in-law's birthday... turned out pretty well for a masculine card. This week I made a more feminine version for a loved one...


 If you know me, you know I LOVE hearts!  I started with a kraft 4 x 9 base.  I used the small SU heart punch to punch out lots of white cardstock hearts.  I punched out one red heart to make it 'pop'; I also used a dimensional to make it literally 'pop' out, as you can see from the close up picture below.  The stamp I used really reads "because I love you MOM", but I wanted to keep it more general for future use, so I masked the "MOM" part out.  (I DO love both my mom & mother-in-law, but this just makes for more options in the future! :) )  I also paper pierced a small row of dots under the sentiment to bring a little more attention to it since the card is so very simple. 
The stamp is a rubber cling from Michael's by Studio G.  Here's the close up of the sentiment, popped up red heart, and paper piercing. 

I am also entering this card into Pals Paper Arts Challenge 104 (PPA104): Paper Piercing & CAS.  You can visit their site here to get all of the details of this challenge! :)

I love how this card turned out!  What do you think? 

Thanks for stopping by & for your comments!  Have a fabulous weekend!
