Follow Your Heart

Hello bloggers!  I selected a piece of Pixie Sparkled card from my stash to use as the background for today's card.  It was made using Red Oxide and Coral Crush Pixie Sparkles.  I used the Slimline Decorative Heart Trio and cut into it, leaving a wide margin around it.  I added mounting foaam to the back and attached it to a piece of white card.  I used the Slimline Essential Frames and added a thin white frame around the background.  I used the Wedding Couple cut in black behind the centre heart aperture.  I used some items from an older Wedding Shadowbox set.  I cut the true love, wedding flutes from the set and added it to one of the other heart apertures.  The Be mine is from the new Heart Accessories, but the rings, large champagne flute and the follow your heart are all from the Wedding Shadowbox.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 5"  x  9 1/4"   in size.  All for now, Sue x

Morning Sue and all friends.
A beautiful design showcasing some of your new collections, one thing that I didn't notice before is the font on the sentiments and I wasn't sure if I should mention it, but because there are 2 different fonts on one sentiment - BE
Mine

For example, it looks squished and squashed together as do the other sentiments on this beautiful design. Sorry Sue, love absolutely everything about today's sample apart from the sentiments. Sending love and hugs to everyone on the start of a new week of beautiful inspiring samples xxx

Today’s card is gorgeous, I’ve just finished making a wedding card using previous dies and stamps of yours and the aperture die would have fitted in perfectly!

Good Morning Sue. What a lovely card today Sue. I am loving the background pixie shade . And I love how you have filled each heart aperture with some older dies. They all look lovely. I am guessing there will be lots of lovely Valentine cards this year. And even gorgeous Anniversery Card too. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today.
PLEASE KEEP STAYING SAFE 🙏 🙏 🙏
