Stamp of the Month Blog Hop: December's Amore

Welcome to the December edition of the Close To My Heart Stamp of the Month Blog Hop! (If you're coming from Beth's Creative Block then you're hopping along; start here if you'd like and go to Tammy Lea's next.)

You'll fall in love with the this month's stamp of the month, Amore! I was trying to make a masculine card, but I'm not sure I succeeded! (My hubby likes it anyway.) Can you see how I scored my main image down the middle both ways? Then I stamped the "You're First Class" postage stamp in each section, using the palette from the Magnifique paper pack: Sky, Lagoon, Pacifica, and Chocolate.

I used the curly heart border across the bottom of my card in the same four colors, staggering the placement of the stamp a little each time. Next came the Mocha Opaques. I love these self-adhesive pearls! The card seems a little too plain, so I then added the strip of B&T and the Chocolate polka dot ribbon.
