Two Hearts

One of the first people I met on Splitcoaststampers was Sharon Johnson (aka notimetostamp). I first noticed her flair for creating the quintessential elegant greeting card in the SU galleries. I refer to her as the Queen of Elegance. Second, I noticed that she was a fellow Michigander! Unfortunately, we live on the polar opposite sides of our great state (about an eight-hour drive by car), but I did have the good fortune to meet her a couple years ago and saw her again a year later at a Michigan stamping event. I'm going to see her and my other friend, DeborahLynneS, along with some other SCSers whom I have not met, in a couple weeks at another Michigan stamping event. Both Sharon and Deb are the sweetest, kindest, and most talented women.

I have two showers to attend tomorrow, one being a bridal shower, and I just haven't felt the mojo for making a card. Therefore, I went to my friend, Sharon's gallery, for some inspiration, and I immediately fell in love with her simply elegant Lets Get Negative card.

I love how she did the split negative with the heart dies and how fast this card came together. I made minor changes by adding the hearts dry embossing on the white panel and using my Marvy scalloped corner punch (thanks, again, JoJot; I so love this punch!). I chose to use these micro mini string of pearls versus the lone pearl Sharon used just to make it more of my own creation.



I don't know if Sharon will see this card because she is such a busy woman, but, Sharon, if you do, thank you for continuing to share your amazing talent with us, and I'm looking forward to seeing you, again!
