Heartstrings

Good Morning everyone and a Happy Sunday to you all! To celebrate the start of summer in the UK I am having a BBQ today.  I have just looked at the weather forecast for the rest of the week and rain is forecast everyday after today so it might be the last chance before winter lol!

I have made a card today using another of the lovely Pollycraft  Digi images I got in the mega bundle, this is Celeste Amberglow and Heartstrings:


I have followed the sketch by Dawny P from Simon Says Stamp.  She has been coloured with Copics and Prismas.  I have distressed the edges with Distress Inks and cut her out with Spellbinders Nesties.  Because she was holding some hearts I used my Whiff of Joy Heart Banner.  The flowers are made with Tonic Punch and gems from my stash added.  The sentiment is an old rubber stamp and I have used my 'antique' Sizzix label die to cut it out.  Pearls and ribbon are from my stash.  The papers are another ancient paper stack I have had a long time there are some really nice papers in it that are glittered (picture doesn't show the glitter) and I don't know why I haven't used them before they are DCWV called Garden Party.

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp - Sketch
Poodles Parlour - Use a Digi
Aud Sentiments - Tag It
Paper Crafting Journey - Pearls and Swirls
Divas by Design - Anything Goes
Fab 'n Funky - Make Your Own Flowers
Papertake Weekly - Girly

Well that's it from me for today.  Thank you so much for dropping by, please come again and take care xx
