Pink and white hearts

I am so enjoying my foray into Tattered Lace.  I think this is all the fault of our new CD Sunday Plus teamie Jo.  I have long admired the cards that Jo produces with her sets of dies and then  Jo joined us -   we got chatting and voila!

Now this new card has been made using dies from the Manor garden set from Peaceful Picture decoupage.  I looked at all the card samples on the Tattered Lace site and fell in love with one which I have almost replicated - just a couple of slight differences.

I love it.  Here it is:

My own tweaks are putting the decoupaged flower spray in a different place and adding a couple of diecut bows.

The gorgeous background paper comes from the accompanying USB as does the 3D decoupage.  I suggest that the decoupage is printed out on a fine photo paper for maximum effect.
Included with the die collection and USB is a project magazine.  The sample card that I used is also in the magazine together with some beautiful papers.

Some of the papers are watercolour scenes.  I have scanned these into my machine so that I can alter the sizes.  I have done this already with a couple of the papers and using the dies from the Abby Hill collection I have made the following couple of toppers:

They are beautiful just as they are but I am thinking of combining them with some parchment work.  They have been cut out of a lightweight card so they won't be too heavy for the parchment paper.

If nothing else the enforced staying-in has stimulated my creative juices as well as decreasing my bank balance.

Off now to decide how to use these toppers - unless I start diecutting again.
Stay safe.
