Heart Card

This is a fun card to make using the Scallop Circle Punch
and coloring with the Stampin' Write Markers for a little
added pizzaz. I wasn't sure about the color combination
at first, but as I was working with them, I loved it.
Hope you'll give it a try. It may not show up well
here, but I used the Zig Painty pen to provide
some accents to the background and the flower in
the heart.
