Where there is Love... SSC, Verve, and MORE!

Happy Sunday!  It is time for Stamptacular Sunday Challenges!  This  theme this week is "Hearts Gone Wild!"  Create a project that is filled with love and hearts!  Smother your card in Love and Hearts!  Check out the link to find out how to play along with us!  There is also a design team call going on now, too! 

For today's card I am using week 2 of the Viva la Verve February Challenges(VLVFeb2011)!  Amy Sheffer designed this week's sketch.  I combined several Verve stamp sets to create the different elements to the sketch.  The background rectangle is stamped using one of the scripty smaller sentiment quotes from Text Objects stamp set.  The larger quote in the set is used as the focal point .  I distressed and sponged the edges.  I then layered over that the slightly turned panel.  I stamped this panel using the loose leaf paper stamp from the Blue Skies set.   Instead of stamping it with the holes on the left, I chose to stamp it on its side.  I then used the larger LOVE word stamps from the Text Objects.  I finished with one of the outlined hearts from the Hundred Hearts set.  For the focal image I used the Vintage Oval Die.  I stamped the Vintage Oval frame using Memento rhubarb.  I then stamped the coordinating quote from the Text Objects set.  I faux layered this die cut with the red mirror cardstock by cutting the die shape out again and cutting in half at an angle and adhering with the edges exposed to the back of the main die cut frame.  I used a precut  white MS doily that I sponged heavily with Memento rhubarb. My background is MS red mirror cardstock that I embossed with the cb swiss dot ef.  I really love how this turned out.  The base of my card was punched on both sides with the MS hearts border punch.  I finished with a jotted heart die cut out of rose pink glitter cardstock as well as a few tiny hearts from my MS border punch. 

I am also playing in a few other blog challenges.
