Day 341 - Substitution Please

Hi 365ers, I hope you're all having a wonderful day! I am, because it's my birthday and I got a fabulous gift from my mom (who pops in from time to time in the chat box), check it out:



I got this table from IKEA, and it is such a welcome addition to my craft room! I used to sit on the floor to use my Cricut and I used my paper trimmer on my lap because there wasn't enough room on the computer desk!!
Now it's time to move on to today's challenge. I've noticed how common it is to substitute all sorts of scrappy items in place of a blossoms, so it was time to post it as a challenge idea. But this one is very specific in honor of the Valentine theme.
Use a heart shape in place of the blossom on a flower on your card.

Beautiful, and you've done a wonderful job of paper piecing, too, Amy!

There are lots of ways to create hearts - stamping, cutting from patterned paper, creating with rhinestones or pearls, hand drawing, etc. It just requires a little imagination and you'll have a very creative card!
