From the heart

Hi there!

Today's card has no stamping or colouring - just fussy cutting:

The image is from Nitwits collection 'from the heart' and I printed it out several times so that I could fussy cut various elements to add dimension. The background papers and card were from my snippets pile and I added ribbon (also a snippet!), a doily, pearls, stickles and glossy accents. As my sewing machine is playing up I used a tool (don't know what its called!) to punch holes around the edges of the paper and drew lines with a white gel pen but I don't think it shows up very well.

Challenges:

as you like it challenge. -with-or-without-words-and-why. this is an easy one for me - definitely with words because without words or a sentiment I don't think it looks right and you want the recipient to know why you sent the card!

Waffle Flower stencil

Happy Sunday from a glorious Devon day! 🌞

Today I have a Christmas card to share:

I used

Waffle Flower Postage Collage Christmas Stencil

Postage stamp die from Amazon

various ink pads

fat oval die

fine brushes (for applying the inks through the stencil)

stamps free from a magazine a long time ago

flower punch

SU sentiment

pearl drops, gems and stickles

white gel pen

1 Promarker to shade around the edges

This card was a lot more difficult to make than I thought it would be! I used some masking tape to secure the stencil but I had to be careful not to let the ink bleed underneath it. Perhaps it wasn't secured enough! It also took longer than I thought it would. 😥
