Muse #100 + Virginia's View #11 Clean Slate

I have all sorts of Valentine bits and pieces sitting on the desk as I struggled to put the design in my head onto paper this week. In the end, a happy accident brought me to this card that I am entering in the Muse Challenge #100, where the talented Michele makes her debut as a Design Team member, and Virginia's View #11: Clean Slate.




As Michele had challenged us to "Accentuate the Negative", I was playing with layers of heart die cuts but things weren't lining up as perfectly as I wanted. I started to tidy my desk a bit and uncovered the leftover center of a die cut where I'd used the outer frame on this card. 

Jennifer McGuire had recently posted a video on making Faux Laser Cut cards and when I realized this center portion would fit perfectly behind my heart, I was thrilled.




The second part of Michele's challenge was to use a line from a song as a sentiment, which I struggled with. I kept getting lyrics in my head that I didn't have a stamp for and I didn't want to send my finished panel through the computer. Addicted to Love was the song stuck in my head and I don't know any stamp company with an "addicted" stamp :)




After looking at the options, this Avery Elle sentiment fit the card best.

Thanks for stopping by,

Jacquie

    Serendipity shined on you today, Jacquie. That die cut behind the heart is perfect. I struggled with a sentiment for a while too, but finally came up with something. You'll have to check it out.
