Pawsitively Happy Valentine's Day Card

For this week's sketch challenge over at I {heart} sketches with a tWist on the FTHS bog, I chose a Valentine image from the set "Ali's Paper Hearts." This set also comes with a sweet girl holding a string of paper hearts with this adorable puppy beside her, but I chose to just use the sweet puppy for my card this time. The sentiment is from the same set which includes 3 different sentiments. You can find the set (and lots of other great digi sets!) at http://fromtheheartstamps.com/shop/

I used a 5x7 inch card base for this card, and the stitched squares I used to die cut my CTMH patterned papers are all from a Gina Marie Designs set. You can shop for her great dies (her stitched shape sets are only $10 each!) at http://wholesalecraftingsupplies.com. These dies cut well and are half the price (or less!) than the big name die companies. I'm sorry for those who visit my blog frequently, but since she is a friend of mine and owns a local Scrapbook Outlet store I like to frequent, I am planning to share the link to her site on any of my blog posts using her dies to help get her name out there.

For my digi, I sized the little dog up using my Silhouette Studio Design software and then added a pink digi background behind him. I then printed him out with the background and printed him out two more times onto matching CTMH papers so I could fussy cut him and the heart and do some paper piecing. I used glue tape to adhere everything but the little heart in his mouth which was adhered with foam squares.

I'm planning to enter this card in the following challenges:
