I don't stock a lot of pink in my stash, and I am again trying to reuse, recycle and reduce in my life, especially when it comes to crafting.
So when I saw that the Squigglefly challenge has a HEARTS theme, I decided to make a card using non-traditional colors. I found this piece of leftover patterned paper and loved the whimsical look of it. I used it as my cardbase, framing it in black. Then I added the strip of color with the punched hearts in coordinating colors and framed that in black as well.
The image is a Squigglefly digi from artist Cheryl Alger called Polly's Pink Flower, although pink is nowhere on my card today. I colored it with my Copics and framed it, punching hearts in the corners. A black ribbon bow finishes off my Clean And Simple challenge card. (Did I mention the button in the middle of her flower?)

Adorable card Pat, and I really do like the non-traditional colors. I get tired of all the pink and red anyway! Using up your stash is just an added bonus!
Pat, I LOVE this! I love the splashes of black to set the colour off and there's just something about those hearts. Fabulous inspiration!
This is so adorable and your coloring is awesome! It's great you are using scraps - I just keep adding to my mountain of scraps!
