Happy February friends! I'm super excited that February has arrived!! It's the month that we celebrate my daughter's birth (she's turning 29 this year) and it means we're one month closer to spring. To ring in the first of the month, Double D Challenges is starting a new challenge today with a heart theme.
I was crunching time when I made this card, using 6"x6" papers from Carta Bella "My Valentine" collection.
I let the papers do all the work, using one of the images from the paper pack as the focal point. If you're wondering where the hearts are, look closely at the bottom of the image. 1.. 2.. 3... Three hearts!
A bit of bakers twine and some sequins add a bit of texture. And just like that, my card was finished!

Come join in on the fun over at Double D Challenges. Any project with a heart will be considered for the prize.
Here is your inspiration:
Thanks for stopping by!

Your papers and added embellishments made a beautiful card Birgit, great inspiration and cleverly designed! I too have a birthday child this month, but he will be 44, my youngest, dang I'm getting old LOL!!
This is so sweet! Love your pretty background papers! That mailbox is lovely filled with all of the pretty little Valentines! Perfect!
Sweet Valentine, Birgit. You've created a beautiful CAS card making the pretty papers do the work. The postage stamp die is one of my favorite. Happy Birthday to your daughter!
And, that was me posting to you. I've got to remember that drop down box....
What a sweet, sweet image on your dsp, and yes, I do see all 3 hearts! It's the mailbox I love though and I want one like it in real life! It may have been a quick card, but you sure nailed this challenge my friend...LOVE it!! Hugs. :0)
Awe what a sweet creation my friend! Who wouldn't love to open their mailbox to find a stack of LOVE come tumbling out! This is just adorable and love how you've staged your photo too.
How pretty and sweet this is, Birgit! I've been looking at this and wondering if it was a stencil or layering stamps, and now I learn it's the paper. I love it! Big designer paper fan here and it's sometimes fun to let the paper do the work. I do that, too. I spotted the hearts right away. It's all so cute!
Happy February, Birgit! Sending birthday wishes to your daughter! Your card is wonderful, what a sweet mailbox!
Darling paper, wonderful and sweet design, Birgit! Happiest birthday to your daughter! HEY she's the same age as I am!!! LOL

So sweet, such a pretty paper pack and great image, I love that the image is framed with a stamp edge :) Wishing your daughter a lovely birthday!
Gorgeous colours and a lovely background and just adore the designs x
This is such a sweet card, so sweetly put together. I love the "postage stamp" panel, it goes perfectly with the focal. Just darling, all the way around!
I love it. I saw ur DT card on a challenge blog. I had to tell you how amazing it is.
Such a beautiful card! Love the colour combo and the postage stamp as your focal point. Just beautiful!
