Do you like the heart behind the framed image?
I found this genial idea from Camilla here. If you've never been to Camilla's blog... 2009 will present you with one of the most wonderful, inspirational cardmakers one can meet! She succeeds to make me glue myself watching her fabulous cards everytime I go there!! Way to go Camilla! you're super talented!!



You start by making a model out of a scrap of cardstock. Then find two pieces of coordinating DP pieces; to match with the card colours you will be using and you make the shape of a heart. It is a lovely embellishment which will cost you nothing, and will be ideal for your coming Valentine cards ;)

Magnolia stamp: Roses on PaperColoured in: Watercolour Fibre tip pens
