Let Your Heart Be Your Guide

Here’s my card for this month’s Market Street Stamps Paint the Town color challenge. The bright colors reminded me of a rainbow sherbet mix! I created a clean and simple design with all of the colors set against a bright white background.

I used the compass from the Compass set as my focal image. It’s stamped in a bright, bold pink ink on a pale pink circle. I stamped the image again on darker pink cardstock and punched out the center with a circle punch so I could add it to the center of the light pink image for contrast. The heart at the center is filled in with Stickles for a little sparkle. It looks a little bubbly in the photo, but it isn't IRL--guess it's just the angle of the photo . . .

The compass is set on the right side of an orange-y striped panel. The left side of the panel is edged with a dark pink scallop edged strip. I stamped the sentiment on an aqua notch-edged strip that stretches most of the length of the card. On the stamp, the text is two lines, but I decided to take advantage of the clear material and stamp it in one continuous line instead to fit my design.
