I 'Heart' You.....

Hi Susan here.....

This week at Sentimental Sundays the theme for the challenge is....Valentines.....For full details of the challenges and the fabulous prizes available to win from our very special sponsors, Deedees Digi's and Raindrop Echo Designs, please call across to the Sentimental Sundays Challenge Blog and join in with us, everybody is making Valentine cards at the moment so there is no excuse.

Now onto my card...

I chose to make a very delicate in colour valentines card, so I chose some backing papers from a 12x12 DCWV stack called Far East. All the edges have been distressed and glittered. I punched a butterfly border on the blue/pink/grey horizontal strip and scalloped the edges myself, then distressed and glittered. The hearts at the front are die cuts, I have used glossy accents and stickles. The lace, pearls and pins are from our local market.

My flowers are from Hobby Craft and Wild Orchid Crafts, the leaves I made myself. My beautiful sentiment and frame is from Raindrop Echo Designs and have been designed by Ann Vento.
