Hi,

Today's card is for this week's Papertrey Ink Make It Monday Challenge: Masked Heart Wreaths.  You can see Melissa's challenge here.  Thanks Melissa, for an awesome challenge- I don't think I would have thought of this technique.

I used images from PTI's "Garden Gild" and "Flower Fusion #7" for the wreath.  I stamped the smallest flower from "Quilted: Summer" around the wreath.  The "love" is a die cut from "Wet Paint Cuts Die Collection".  

Thanks for having a peek.

Images and sentiment are from Gina K Design's "Dreams Take Flight".  I have used the dragonflies before, but not the sentiment.  My "new something" would be the Tim Holtz distress inks I used on the background: 'Spiced Marmalade', 'Fossilized Amber', and 'Fired Brick'.  I recently purchased four sets of the mini-cubes - now I have a nice variety!

Have a great week!
