Vintage hearts

I made this card last week while I was off on my mini home vacation. I cut the bottom layer of the hearts out of cream felt with my scalloped Nesti hearts and the next layer was punched from some very old sheet music my mother-n-law graciously gave to me. I distressed it a bit more with Antique Linen ink. The top layer I used the Nesties again but I had run the paper through my Swiss Dot Cuttlebug folder first. The background was done with the "Victoria" Cuttlebug embossing folder and then I rubbed an opaque white ink pad over the raised image. I love the softness it created.


The stick pin is one of the handmade ones that I made a couple of years ago. There is a picture of some more in the Splitcoast Stampers Gallery under Stick Pins. The seam binding was the perfect color for the look I was going for. I love how it crinkles up when you mist it a bit with some water and then scrunch it up in you hand. The tiny little tag is from SU with the medium jewelry tag punch- another of my new favorites.

Not much else to say tonight but burrrrr. This morning was the first time I saw a negative number on the dash for the temperature and I hope I don't see it again anytime soon. I know living in Michigan the odds of that aren't good. I have been busy making some flowers out of organza and I am proud to say I didn't burn the house down. I will leave it at that and share some pictures of the flowers with you in my next post.

~Have fun and enjoy!
