Bloom in your heart

Here's my first attempt.....

punched a heart from scrap, making a stencil,

inked through it, then stamped.

But I wasn't happy with the layout.....so

take 2, with the aid of my stamp-a-ma-jig

Matted it onto matching card, added a rhinestone.

The Bloom with Hope and World of Dreams stamp sets could be my latest favourites.

Have a great weekend

Spotlight Technique with Corner Garden

Here's some 'happy post' I sent recently.

The background stamp is Corner Garden,

which is gorgeous.

I stamped it again on some spare card,

punched out a circle, coloured it in, and mounted it on Dimensionals (foam pads).

The sentiment is from Bloom With Hope.

The mat behind is the same punched shape, cut in half,

and spread apart to create the illusion of a bigger layer underneath.

(Hope that makes sense?!)

Happy Friday

Bloom with Hope

Here's a card we don't like to have to send,

but is strangely comforting to make,

because it enables us to focus on the departed,

and is a small token made with love for those left behind.

Susie was a lovely lady who was also a crafter,

and expert seamstress, and I am lucky to have some of her makes.

I chose these elements, because they seemed peaceful.

Hardwood is the background stamp,

the leaves are from World of Dreams,

and the sentiment is from Bloom With Hope.

Inks were Hello Honey and Memento black.
