SHEEPSKI DESIGNS - FEBRUARY BLOG CHALLENGE

Well here we are with Challenge #10 for.....
SHEEPSKI DESIGNS BLOG CHALLENGE
The theme for this challenge is....
RED/HEARTS/ROMANCE/LOVE
You can read the rules....
HERE
So here is my DT inspiration for you!
I used Andrea's image 'ROCKET & ROSIE'
You can purchase it
HERE
Here is my inspiration for you....
I took a 5.5 square red card base and layered the front with paper with tiny red hearts all over it.
I die cut various size hearts in a contrasting red paper with white hearts.
I used foam tape to adhere the image topper on top of the biggest hearts and put the smaller ones in the top right corner. I put a red ribbon bow in the top left corner.
On the inside I made a pocket with the same paper as I used to layer the front of the card then made a gift card to fit in the pocket using one of the Ephemera cards from the paper I used.
I hope you like what I did with the image and it will give you some inspiration.
Thank you for visiting today.

Happy crafting!!

CRAFT CONSORTIUM - SANTORO #5

Hi there!
Day 5
and the final day of my projects I made to showcase the adorable
SANTORO collections at CRAFT CONSORTIUM.
Right now there is a sale going on with 25% off!!
So why not pop over and grab a bargain or two.
So my fourth and final project I am sharing is this cute CAROUSEL featuring the papers from KORI KUMI featuring papers from the 8x8 paper collection...
(https://www.craftconsortium.com/product-page/santoro-kori-kumi-8-x8-premium-paper-pack) 
This actually lights up with a battery operated tealight but I could not get a good enough picture to show it.
This is a cutting file which I purchased quite some time ago from a lovely lady ANNE HUXTER whose site is TREASURED TEMPLATES
I thought the papers were perfect for this project and I have to say I adore these Kori Kumi collections! They are so versatile and can be used for so many different projects.
You can see all the SANTORO collections here...

And click on SANTORO LONDON in the left side bar.
Thank you for joining me again today.
 Happy crafting!!
