All My Hearts

All My Hearts

Just Add Ink's  #411 card challenge is a sketch challenge this week.

  

My entry for this challenge is photographed below:

To create my entry, I first took a piece of card that had different pastel colours on it and cut into a card base (5 1/2 x 4 1/8").  On my Big Shot I cut a large stitched rectangle (5 1/8 x 3 1/2") using my MFT stitched rectangle dies.  I also die cut a number of different sized hearts (some plain, some decorative).  From my craft stash I found a pink card stock envelope and a suitable tag sentiment which says "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU".  

Next I put my card together.  I adhered the stitched frame using foam squares (which gave the frame some dimension).  I then adhered the pink envelope onto the bottom right-hand corner of the frame using double sided tape.  The other hearts were layered across the card front right up to the top left-hand corner.  These were adhered using wet glue and some foam squares to stop them collapsing.  

The sentiment was a tag so I threaded some pink and white Baker's Twine through this and secured it under the large floral heart with some double sided tape.  I adhered the tag the same way onto the corner of the stitched frame.  

This was quite a quick card to put together once I had decided what to do and the die cutting was complete.  On the envelope I stamped the sentiment "Happy Mail" and the duckling delivering the mail; this helps the recipient of this card know it is not a bill!  

Thank you for taking the time to look at my blog post; I would appreciate any feedback.

Till next time, keep crafting!
