Artistry Hearts Background Card for Friday Mashup #219

Artistry is the new Close to My Heart Cricut cartridge and is available right now here!  I received mine last week and am having a blast creating with it.  The theme at The Friday Mashup is to make a square card and/or use the colors grey, pink and blue.   Here is my card:
