Pink Valentine

The last valentine I made was all in blues, but today's valentine is pretty in pink. I also made it to enter in 3½ challenges! 

Okay, there's not really half a challenge. ;) However, on the weekend Ardyth posted this card and I told her I would like to CASE (copy and share everything) it. Of course she promptly replied that she couldn't wait to see it, so... :D As Ardyth did, I made a mask from a die with multiple openings - granted, mine only has three - and used it to sponge my rectangles with two pinks and a mauve distress ink. Before I lifted the mask, I also misted and spattered the rectangles with some shimmer spritz. Then I used a small background stamp to emboss the panels with little hearts in holographic embossing powder. Four "love" die cuts are adhered together for a dimensional sentiment. (Hmm, rather the opposite of Ardyth's inlaid die cuts.) Finally, I added some small cardstock hearts and a sprinkling of pink gems to the panels. 

The *other* three challenges that inspired this card... Inkspirational's photo challenge (pinks and hearts), The Paper Players' "Love is in the Air" theme challenge and Simon Says Stamp's Wednesday Anything Goes challenge.
