Anniversary Card Using Whimsy Stamps Spread Love and Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge

Hi all of you beautiful people!  I hope you are having a nice weekend.  It is cool here for a change in Southern CA.  I think it is probably colder everywhere else; so we are luckier than others.  Try to stay warm and safe in the winter weather.  I am still feeling on the blah side; having been sick for most of this week.  I keep hoping I will feel normal again some day; but not today. 
I created a card for my daughter and her husband for their 15th anniversary.  I have purchased several Whimsy stamps over the past year and have only used one or two of them.  I decided it was time to get them out and try using them.  They are so cute that I couldn't resist buying them.  I don't feel I am very good at coloring them; so I hesitate to use them.  If they were pre-colored; I would be using them all the time.  LOL!.
I pulled the heart out so you could read it; but it is tucked behind the card image; which really adds to the look of the card.  I really wanted to get away from pinks and purples for this card and do something different than the traditional pinks and reds with hearts. 


Card without the heart.


Little heart that is tucked in behind the image.
