Follow Your Heart

Good Sunday morning all!  I selected a piece of pixie sparkled card from my stash to use as a starting point for today's card.  I used Boulevard Lights and Sandstorm Pixie Sparkles to create it.  I cut the Circle Aperture into it, then lined up he inner scalloped dies and cut a piece of black card to use with it.  I glued the two pieces together, then added some mounting foam to the back.  I backed it with a piece of white card.  Next I used the Heart Accessories set and cut the single rose stem, the letter, the heart and arrow, and the Love word out of black card.  I cut the wedding couple, Follow Your Heart and the champagne bottle and glasses out of black card too but they came from the Wedding Shadow box and Wedding Couple set.  I left a wide margin on the Circle aperture and used the Double Stitched squares and cut a black frame to go around the top of it.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2"  x  7 1/2"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Fluffycat said...

Hi Sue, love the design and the silhouettes and although the main picture makes it looks very dark the detail shots seem much lighter. I think I would need to see this in real life to get the proper effect of the pixies.

I lost my job few months back and there was no way to get income for my family, things was so tough and I couldn't get anything for my children, not until a met a recommendation on a page writing how Mr Bernie Wilfred helped a lady in getting a huge amount of profit every 6 working days on trading with his management on the cryptocurrency Market, to be honest I never believe it but I took the risk to take a loan of $1000. and I contacted him unbelievable and I was so happy I earn $12,500 in 6 working days, the most joy is that I can now take care of my family I don't know how to appreciate your good work Mr. Bernie Doran God will continue to bless you for being a life saver I have no way to appreciate you than to tell people about your good services.
