Your Heart's Desire

Happy Monday, especially to those of you who have the day off (like I do...woohoo!). Strap yourselves in...I did a MARATHON of challenges for today's card!

I started with this week's Etsy Inspired Challenge. The featured shop is Modern Bird, & I chose this heart necklace as my inspiration.

Here's a close-up of how I translated the heart into my creation.

I also realized this piece would work perfectly for The Gray is the New Black challenge over at Moxie Fab World.

Once I started working on the rest of the card, the challenges started to pile up, so I figured I'd enter this in the Pile It On challenge--anything goes. (If you're not familiar with Pile It On, the idea is to complete as many challenges as you can with one project.)

My other challenges include:
Dare to be Sassy--something old (my ribbon)
Delicious Doodles--use 3 colors
Totally Papercrafts--happy birthday
Simply Create--use punches (my flower)
Scrapbook Sisters--hearts desire (my sentiment)
Really Reasonable Ribbon--hearts & ribbon

Whew! That's a LOT of challenges for one card. Perhaps tomorrow I'll take a break & just do a blog candy giveaway instead... *wink*
