Oh my, can’t believe how organised I am so far this year with making cards well in advance :)

Finished this card this morning and am quite pleased with the result because I had no style or layout in my head and just played around with scraps of paper… I had coloured Tilda without any special papers in mind and must admit I had a bit of trouble finding something suitable. Well, here she is…

As it got hearts on it, it qualifies for the papertake weekly challenge, Thanks girls, had fun participating!

Now for the ingredients:

  • Stamps by Magnolia and Personal Impressions
  • Patterned papers are BG Infuse (strips) and LilyKate
  • Sissix scalloped oval frame (Nope, nestabilities have still not arrived!!)
  • Heart charm and ribbon from stash
  • Heart border : Peel off!! yes, you’ve read it right… lol.. I don’t do peel offs, but got a large stash of it specially for the kids.. and when I rummaged through it and found this I really like it because it gives that paper edge a ‘lace’ look

I might make a sketch of this layout.. as I think the possibilities are huge with this *Ü*  so watch this space!

 ETA: Here is the promised sketch of this card, feel free to use it and I would love to see your creations.. so make sure you send me a link :D
