Where did January go? Really wish I could be here more often. I began making this card for an inspiration challenge but could not complete it in time. So, I used hearts for ongoing love/Valentine challenges.
Supplies used:
Elizabeth craft designs-Triple leaf set
MFT die-namics-Fancy flourish (sections of die cut used)Stitched circle
Fiskars-Peacock elegance (sentiment)
dotted designer paper
sequin
clear dew drop
glossy accents
A circular window was die cut on DP and adhered on a square card base. To make the flower, a one inch wide strip of red printer paper was folded in half and 5 big and 5 smaller hearts were fussy cut using handmade templates. To make a petal, one big and one small heart were glued along their mountain folds. The five petals made in this manner were adhered on a double sided foam circle, added a sequin and clear dew drop for the flower center, then added some colour to the petals. The leaves were die cut and veins were marked on them using the shaft of a piercing tool for dimension. The sentiment was stamped and card was completed with the dimensional flower, leaf springs, flourishes and glossy accents.

This is my third card for my SIL, a victim of terminal ovarian cancer in Canada. Around Christmas, a FB group-Kit & Clowder, had a post asking if anyone needed uplifting cards. I mentioned about my SIL and some kind readers sent her beautiful handmade cards which she was thrilled to receive. If any of you would like to send her an uplifting card, please let me know in the comment so I can send you her mailing address. Your kindness will be much appreciated.
Thank you. Hope to visit you soon.

What a stunning card Leanne - love the drama of the red against the white and the dark background. The dimension you obtained with the fussy cut and folded hearts is wonderful.

I think this card is a stunner!!! I love the flower with the sparkly center. I would be happy to send a card later this month- probably will not look like a Kit and Clowder member card! LOL
What a lovely colour scheme on this elegant card.
