I was looking through my stamps to find a heart I liked and I ran across one in the Stampin' Up! "Priceless" set. I stamped it on white card stock and cut it out. I'm not a big fan of cutting but after all it was only one heart. I punched a 1-3/4" black circle and taped it on top of a red punched scallop piece.I used my Cuddlebug folder and dry embossed the white background piece. I taped that on top of a piece of black cards stock and then added the ribbon around it. I taped that to the red card base and then tied a bow on the ribbon. I taped the scallop piece to the card and it was done. A pretty quick card. I set it down and looked at it and realized I didn't like the red ribbon. SO I thought about it and felt maybe black ribbon would be better. I made another car
d and added the black ribbon instead. I think I like the black better. Which one do you prefer and why?Thank you for stopping by,
Wanda

I like the red one best, even though they both are pretty. Red is my favorite color and also, I think the red is more vibrant and makes the card "pop". Thanks for another outstanding idea.
Hi Wanda,
I like both cards but think the black ribbon looks best! You always post such great ideas! TFS
Very Pretty Wanda!
Wanda this is GORGEOUS! I am gonna CASE it for my next stamp camp! Love the contrast!
Oooooooo - red, black, and white - my favorite combo! Both of these cards are great, but I like the black ribbon more, because the red scallop circle stands out against it instead of blending into it. I just bought a 'Bug and can't wait to use it. This card is definitely getting added to my 'Bug Ideas' list! - Susan :-)
Both cards a gorgeous but I do like the black ribbon best. I enjoy your blog and try to read it every couple of days.

Those are just wonderful! I never think to use a heart larger than the circle! Great idea!
I think the red is cute, the black is elegant. I like both of them!
Love the way you used the white pen for the dots around the heart :)
I really like both cards they are beautiful ...But The second one I love the simplicity of the ribbon ..!!!
I can't decide which one I like better. The black ribbon makes the red scallop stand out more but other than that I like them both. I do love the polka-dot ribbon though - black or red.
Hello! actually I like the red best, but both look cute!
I think I prefer the black ribbon, too, but it's hard to pinpoint why. Maybe it just looks a bit more sophisticated compared to the flashier red ribbon.
Both are nice, but I definitely prefer the one with black ribbon as it allows the red heart to pop out more, drawing your attention to the heart and not all the red.
I love this. Beautiful. THanks for sharing!

I think they are both gorgeous but I like the black one better too. Beautiful cards Wanda! *STAMPIN HUGS* Alex
Both great cards, but I prefer the black ribbon, the red just "pops" too much and takes away from the focal point. Wonder if you used sheer red/white polka dot ribbon if that would tone down the redness of the solid ribbon?
I like the one with the black ribbon as it makes the scallop circle stand out more even though I love red.
simple elegance on these cards:)I like the red ribbon better, perhaps because it's brighter?! I don't really know why, I just know the red catches my eye a wee bit more than the black. Both cards are awesome! TFS!
I really do love them both, but I think I like the one with the black ribbon has a bit more contrast, and I like that. I am so going to use this idea for some cards coming up! Love how simple and elegant they are!
They are both priceless!!!Love 'em both!!
Hello!
I like the red one too! I think it is just brighter! The black one is nice too, but for me, I like the red!
Thanks for the great ideas!!
