Several of our Design Team Members decided to play along - Scroll down to see how they added hearts into their projects and then enter your project at the bottom of the post! Read the description below each card to see who made it!

This adorable one-layered scene was created by Yukari Yoshioka. She used our Newton's Daydream stamp set.

I love the fun way Samantha repeated the words over and over around the flamingos from the Flirty Flamingos stamp set! So fun!

 Danielle created this fun strawberry card using the Sweet Summer stamp set! Love the watercolor mixed with gold foil! 

This card by Jess has so much dimension you can hardly tell it's just one layer! She used the Bunny Hop stamp set and a fun sunburst technique! 

This stunning one layer card is by Kimberly!  I love the look of the gold and black on the Kraft card base. She used the  Falling into Autumn stamp set! So fun!

Lydia got some extra mileage out of some fall themed stamps for this spring card! She used the spooky tree from the Spooky Street Halloween set and the dots from the Falling into Autumn stamp set to created the fun leaves. Then she added the sentiment from the Newton's Daydream stamp set.

Here is a fun and playful one layer card is by Crafty Math-Chick! She even added fur to the koala from the Hanging Around stamp set. I also love the mint green circle she sponged around the words!

Larissa created this fun one-layer scene with lots of creative masking (although she did break the rules a bit by mounting it on another piece of cardstock -lol!)  She combined stamps from Bunny Hop, Versatile Vases, Winter Tails and Newton's Daydream.  What an adorable scene! 

Here was my try at a one-layer card. I stamped the flowers from the Love Grows stamp set and used the "heartfelt" from the Simply Sentimental stamp set. I added a bit of watercolor flicked onto it to add texture!

Inky Paws #17 Favorites

Since there were so many beautiful heart cards, we chose THREE more as our favorite picks! If you see your card below, contact us if you'd like to get a "favorite" badge for your blog!

We really loved this adorable card by Heidi! We loved how she mixed the "love you" & "mom" from our Love Grows stamp set with the sweet little penguin pair from the Wild Child stamp set! What a fun pairing! We also loved the watercolor in the heart - so pretty! 

The next two favorites are both awesome clean and simple cards and use our raccoon image - We couldn't decide which we liked better since they were so lovely - so we picked both!

We really loved this Clean and Simple card by Karen using the cute raccoon from the Sweetheart Tails stamp set. The clean style is so striking - and the subtle hearts on the grey stripe are a fun detail! 

Here's another Clean and Simple card by Lynn - also using the raccoon from the Sweetheart Tails stamp set.  We loved the contrast of the bright red against the white - and the cute little hearts in the background are so fun! 

Thanks so much!
Thanks again to everyone who entered - It's really so much fun to look through all the entries and see everyones ideas! If you didn't win this time we hope you'll try again in February! The next challenge will begin on February 20.
