Heart of hearts

Hello lovely people,

There's another weekend gone and I hope you all had a good one.

I decided to start making a few romantic cards with Valentine's Day in mind and first up I wanted to have a play with a lovely new die I bought.

I definitely find myself leaning towards CAS creations with this die as you can see...

Romantic card with lots of pink hearts

I used a pearlescent card behind the die and a darker pink heart covered with Wink of Stella popped back into one of the heart shaped holes.  I finished the hint of bling with a single tiny gem.

At least I remembered to stamp the sentiment before I got too far with the card design, just in case I messed it up!

I'm off to Bath for 2 study days this week and then I shall be beavering away with coursework as my deadline for part 2 of my course is looming on the horizon...2 weeks to go!

I wish you all a good week ahead :-)

Thanks for visiting and I really appreciate any comments that you leave,

  6. This is very pretty Kat I have a similar die and gree that it does lend itself to lovely CAS cards - and well done on the sentiment! - I know to my cost how easy it is to ruin a card with a wrongly stamped sentiment x

  14. A beautifully CAS design Kat.... and ooooh I do like that die!! The sentiment says it all... and well done you for getting it perfect! I've got a MISTI now which helps me place sentiments to perfection - and if it doesn't stamp properly you just pop the top down again and it corrects! Sooooooooo clever!

    Big hugs
