You make my heart smile!

Hi Bloggers.

I'm heading out early this morning travelling to Domino Crafts in Wolverhampton for a demo day 10am till 4pm. If you're in the area, please stop by.

Here's today's card -

For the back background (if that makes sense!), I used a piece of White Gloss Card and dropped some Alcohol Inks onto the surface. I used Purple Twilight, Sailboat Blue and Sunset Orange but you could use any.

I cut the Inner die only from Spellbinders Acanthus Leaf Duality Die Set out of Milk Card 3 times, taking care not to put my tan mat over the already embossed sections each time. I glued this to my Alcohol Inked Background.

I stamped the sentiment from the Justrite Chrysanthemum Stamp Set onto Milk Card using Jet Black Archival. I cut it out using a die from the Spellbinders Acanthus Leaf Tags Die Set and cut the corresponding larger die from the set out of Black Card.

I assembled the card as shown adding Craft Consortium Pearl Hearts and piercing around the edges using my Tim Holtz Ruler, Precision Probe and Piercing Mat.

Sue Wilson is back on Hochanda today at 2pm and 3pm. I'm offering 10% discount on the items I have in stock on my website from the shows. You can find them here. Offer applies till midnight tomorrow (Sunday 3rd July). Discount is applied at checkout.
