*NinaB Designs is a product designer for a few paper crafting companies including Spellbinders, Want2Scrap and Penny Black, and The Craft's Meow.

3. Adhere a strip of lace to the left side, then adhere the entire paper block to the card front.
4. Cut a striped paper strip, diecut a circle from the top of it and sand the edges. Adhere to the middle of the card.
5. Diecut a heart from book paper, accent with a rhinestone and adhere.
6. Tie a double bow from pink twine, then layer with a felt flower to the right side of the circle.
7. Cut a strip of chalkboard paper, cut banner edges to it, then stamp the sentiment.  Adhere to the left side of the card.
8. Add a piece of washi tape and accent with epoxy dots to finish.

Challenges:
-Totally Gorjuss #166 - Polka Dots
-Allsorts #189 - Dies/Punches
