STAMPlorations CAS Challenge Reminder

Hello!  Today we are sharing a reminder and more inspiration for the STAMPlorations Clean and Simple Challenge: Anything Goes (optional twist: Red).  Here's what I've created...

To create this card I started my diecutting my heart and then embossing my sentiment from the Fond Expressions 2 Stamp Set in white Embossing powder.  Next I used distress ink in the color Fired Brick and blended it up from the bottom of the heart to the top, giving a nice gradient look of reds.  I used the heart to base here where I would stamp the smaller heart images from the Balloons and Banners Stamp Set.  I then went over the rectangle panel with distress ink in Scattered Straw and Wild Honey.  Finally I adhered the heart with foam adhesive and adhered it all to the cardbase.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I can't wait to see what you will create for this challenge!
Happy Crafting!
