It's the Little Things - SOTM Blog Hop

If you are coming from Nikka's Blog you are on the right track!  There are over 60 Close To My Heart Consultants showcasing this CUTE stamp set called, "It's the Little Things".  If you were to get lost along the way you can find a complete listing of participants by clicking here.
I have been creating with this stamp set for a few weeks so needed something "different" to showcase during this blog hop.  I decided to check out my other stash and decided to implement the "Treasures of the Heart" envelope included in the "My Crush Besties Assortment" as shown below.
I used a white card base and a black matte for the card front.  Using Canary, Pixie and Sweet Leaf inks, I stamped and fussy-cut several images from the stamp set.  
The card was not complete without some Clear Sparkles as the flower centers.  3-D Foam Tape added additional dimension to the card and the White Ink Pad was used to stamp the sentiment.  (Be sure to let it dry completely and you can speed up the process by heat setting it with a heating tool.)
Be sure to let me know what you think of my creation and then head on over to Regina's Blog to see what she has up her sleeve!  Thanks for stopping by!

Happy hoppin'!
