Happy Wednesday! It's time for another Color Throwdown and this week Miss Joan is our hostess-the-the-mostess! I love the colors she chose…perfect for a fancy heart Valentine featuring zig zags!
Here's the combo:

I adore that bed!
I also made my card for this week's Our Craft Lounge challenge OCL101 to use zig zags!

I chose the new stamp set from Our Craft Lounge called Every Heartbeat. Such a simple set, but oh-so-versatile! I embossed the wide distressed zig zag (heartbeat) on Rose Red cardstock with clear embossing powder, and I stamped the multiple zig zag image in Memento Desert Sand onto the kraft background.

The seam binding was dyed with Pool Party ink. The branches and some of the hearts are die cut from old book pages that were painted with watered down Claudine Hellmuth gesso. The branches were then pounced with the Pool Party ink pad. I simply layered the hearts and stitched up the middle, leaving the ends of the thread loose. The eyelet lace is vintage from my Mom's stash.
Look how perfectly that resin flower from the Maya Road Embellishments Kit matches the Rose Red!
The card base is only 3 1/2" wide, so the layered cardstock strips and heart that extend over the edges only add enough width to make the card 4 1/4" wide.
Now is the time for you to check out the gorgeous creations that the CTD design team has put together for you! Here are the links:

I hope you can play along with us this week. If you don't have the exact colors, you can use whatever you have that is close. Link up to today's post on the CTD blog.
