clean and simple. . . .

is not as easy as it sounds.  I wanted to use some die cuts that Betty included in the card she sent to me for the January card chain challenge. 

I have never seen these stemmed hearts before and had to play around a bit before I came up with this card.  The double bow die cut was given to me by another friend.  I cut the stems off of three of the hearts and placed them beside the sentiment to balance the design.  I like the way this card turned out.  I even added two of the stems to the inside of the card:

Thank you, Betty, for these sweet heart flowers!!

I will be sending this off to Addicted to CAS where the theme is LOVE.

Have a great day!
