All Heart

Yikes ..... not only is it one layer week at Less is More but you have to use Heart(s) in your design too!!!!

Now I'm not a sloppy romantic or frilly hearts kinda gal and my stamp collection sort of mirrors that so any hearts I have are little hearts that are extras in stamp sets. After deliberating over the weekend I turned to my Paper Smooches stamps and a good old fashioned play on words ....


I had a test run on scrap paper to get the spacing right on the pencil line heart before stamping on the card base and colouring with Promarkers. I thought a touch of glitter would give a bit of dimension too....STOP PRESS.... yep, I chose to use glitter!!!


I haven't had the pleasure of playing with my Paper Smooches stamps recently and it was great fun to get them inky again, the cute little sweetie was from the sugar rush stamp set and the sentiment is made from the alphadot set...... in fact Emily at 'Make the Day Special' has the whole range of Paper Smooches sets in including the new October release sets. I have no connection with the website, just thought I'd remind you that they are available to buy in the UK now :)

Well the weather here is decidedly rough today and I'm just wondering if I peg the duvet cover out I'll have to go into the village to fetch it back later!!! One of the perils of being open to the fields I guess ....... at least it's not raining too .... yet!

Thanks for looking X
