Hearts and Roses

Hello friends, thanks so much for stopping by.  I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your visits and comments this year - it is so appreciated.  As much as Social Media is a big and effective way to share and connect, Blogs still have their place and I hope you will continue to follow me and be inspired next year.  I am working on new things and expanding my 'comfort zone' - the creative world is ever changing and we can either fight it or go with it - I am going with it and enjoying the journey!

I am sharing a card created using the beautiful Spellbinders Nestabilities Card Creator Botanical Bliss Stacey Caron Floral Trellis Etched Dies this has been die cut using the Platinum Die Cutting Machine.  The exposed areas have been sponged using Imagine  Memento Ink in Bamboo Leaves.  Next it has been glued to slightly larger green card stock. Narrow lace has been adhered to the top of the card front; followed by a double white seam binding bow to the centre of the lace.  A recycled button has been glued to the knot of the ribbon.

The Rose Heart stamp set has been coloured using Chameleon Pens and popped up onto the card front also using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L 3D Foam squares.   The sentiment has been trimmed and glued below the layered flower.  The layered card front has been popped up onto a pre-cut slightly larger white card base using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L 3D Foam squares.
