Hearts and flowers for love

There's a lot of love around atm - so many challenge blogs are concentrating on love, hearts, flowers, red, pink etc - not surprising with Valentine's day in a couple of days' time.

So this card features hearts (no idea where they came from - been in stash for ages) mounted on 7 gypsies sushi journey paper to match the square that houses the flowers - all made from offcuts. The swirly panel with spots was run through the cuttlebug twice, once with a dreamweaver stencil and then with the dots embossing folder. This was then distressed with worn lipstick DI. The strips of bling down the lefthand side are from Poundland.


This is for:
