  6. What a great card! I love the complimentary embossed textures on the background and then on the heart--that is a really cool effect. And of course, you can't go wrong with gnomes...or dogs...or crafting. All 3 together are a home run in my book! :) Thank you for being our Crazy Cousin designers this month, I always enjoy seeing your creations.
