Lots of love all around with PINK and RED!

The second image from Penny Black's Endearment set seemed just the ticket for several challenges that are asking for pink and red - 'tis the season for LOve after all!  

Color Hues and Inkspirational challenges have teamed up making it double the fun!


  

Here is where my heart and that PB set took those lovely colors...


It isn't Valentine's Day without bringing out my old Amy Tangerine 
Love Spun embossing folder - I just love those 'cross-stitched' hearts!
Top it off with an old MFT Stitched Heart and this darling couple -
well, it all makes me happy!

And just like that I have made this card eligible for Time Out #281!
Using THREE of their categories:
Layer, stitch, and heart!


and I've used PB so I can send this one over to my friends at
Penny Black Saturday Challenge using their option of HEARTS!


This has to be some kind of record for me to find FOUR challenges in one card!

Thanks for the honor at Inkspirational!

When a card is as wonderful as this one, it ought to be in four galleries! Those two darlings couldn't be more adorable, and I love that embossed background. Thanks for sharing with us at Color Hues!
