Here’s the card that I designed especially for today’s hop, I was thoroughly inspired by THIS Debby Hughes beauty:

I’m a huge fan of non-traditional colors so green was calling my name for this Valentine’s Day card…of course, it could easily be an everyday card too!  I used the beautiful Bloom Heart from the Main Kit.  I heat embossed it in white on vellum and die cut it out.  The main panel has sentiments from the Sealed With a Kiss set.  I used the hearts from the Sealed With a Kiss and Love Notes sets.
I did a quick watercolor wash using my Peerless Watercolors and topped off my card with some sequins from my stash.

  31. Thank you for sharing your ideas. I really like the white embossed flower heart on vellum, it looks perfect on the green wash background.

  35. I'd know it was an "Amy card" without seeing your name–so fun and modern. Love your work; great use of the new kit.

  37. Ooh, love, love this!!! If someone had randomly shown me this card, I would have immediately said that's an "Amy" card. You did a fantastic job with the watercoloring and that sweet vellum heart, especially with the artsy font of the add-on kit. Love this and you are seriously bad for my wish list! I'm so NOT a Valentine's Day girl, but I have three sets on my list and they are all because of you. 🙂
