FOLLOW THE LEAD

The design team over at AAA Cards Challenge #282 has come up with a really fun challenge they're calling "Follow The Lead" that I couldn't resist! Marlies is this month's leader and she has produced this wonderful almost completely white layered die cuts card with a single red heart - how much fun is that? Our challenge is to create a card that in some way jumps off from her gorgeous card.

My approach to Marlies' card was to follow her idea with layered dies and a single red heart in the lower right corner:  

I started by die cutting a white cardstock stitched rectangle and then die cutting one of my favorite heart dies (Penny Black #51-182 "Fancy Heart") off the edge. I die cut the heart a second time and mounted it back onto the rectangular panel after adding the sentiment in red ink. I die cut one of the cute little birds and branches from My Favorite Things and added him, along with a tiny red heart, to the face of the top panel with some dimensional foam. The final step was to layer this panel over the face of a white card base with more dimensional foam.   

You really must go over to the link and check out all of the incredible cards that the design team has come up with, following Marlies' lead:

And while I'm sharing my card, I'm also dropping in at Diane and Darlene's Simply Clean & Simple January Challenge:
