Hi there! Here today with an all new CR84FN Color Challenge! I am thrilled to pieces to see so many players join in the fun week after week and to see so many sweet friends sign up to follow the challenge :) Many thanks! I made this rather Clean and Simple card of sorts:
I paired some Melissa Frances DP with My Mind's Eye, stitched on a bit of lace, adhered an embossed/sanded foil heart then topped off my card with a lil' paper doily, a beautiful pink paper rose and a tag bearing the sentiment
I LOVE you from
Sweethearts.
In case you haven't noticed, I am really lovin' Spellbinders Pearl colored foil especially combined with the
S4-296 Nested Hearts die templates! I wish this was sold BULK in a roll ~ I am sure it would sell like hot cakes! Up close, you can see all the gorgeous embossed detail design on the heart die cut:
Here's a pic of the 3 various size hearts that are included in the
S4-296 Nested Hearts set and a sample of each size cut/embossed and sanded using Spellbinders Red Premium Craft foil:
That's all I have for today! Thanks so much for looking and I sure hope you hop on over to visit the
