- printed 2 digi images, fussy cut one. WoS pens on the basket hearts. Actually there were more pink hearts than shown, but the WoS pink made these look red. Then a stylus added a bit of shaping; adhered the top basket to the MFT pierced circle image which had just a smidge of DI Spun Sugar on the outer edge.
- sentiment from an old stamp, same DI spun sugar for ink. Think it might have looked better with a darker ink shade, but it is what it is. The die is from a Sue Wilson set and the tiny hearts were an MS punch that has multiple sized tiny hearts...and used a snippet left from this card. All these bits & pieces are in a pile. {Sigh...I had sorted all the snippets into my colored boxes very recently. Sure can't tell it just now}. White c/s snippet embossed with the tiny hearts E/F, colored with copics. (Avery Elle Elle-ments angle die)
Received this link in an email this morning, and thought I'd share.

. There's a very pretty song to enjoy, and the singer explains how she came to write this song, about the memories of her childhood. (sounded as though she had a lilting Scottish accent). Think I've previously shared that I have 5 older brothers (2 who have left us). These fellas are stair steppers - 2 years apart - and grew up on my Grandmother's farm. Not much money, lots of hard work, but they still had time to play country kids' fun. Have heard these stories all my life; as I listened to the words of this song, I could just see those 5 little boys in my mind, and got a little misty. Both the brothers who bother with the computer sent me this song today. Hope you'll enjoy it too & perhaps have some happy memories.
As always, have a great evening, and thanks for joining me. Hope you're able to stay cozy & warm where you may be. God Bless & Big Hugs.
This is so beautiful, Mary!! The basket of hearts is so beautiful!! Love the pretty papers!! Awesome my friend!! Have a great evening :)

Beautiful card, I love the design. Somehow I missed your last post...... another gorgeous card. The papers are just perfect. xx
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty basket of hearts and more of that pretty paper! Forgot to say in the last comment that I can't wait to see what you bought at the Stamp Convention and how special to meet a blogging friend there.
ReplyDeleteJust listened to the song! Thanks so much for sharing. I'm a bit misty eyed myself and what a lovely voice she has! I love songs that I can actually understand the words to.
ReplyDeleteAnother pretty! These are so clever. Wish I could whip them up that quickly! Loved the Isla Grant song too - TFS - definitely Scottish - tried to see where it was filmed, to no avail! Have a great night!
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely Valentines card Mary - love that you inverted the sketch.

Another pretty valentine Mary and the basket of hearts is just perfect! Love the bit of film too. I have never heard of the lady but she has a nice voice and I can see how it would remind you of your childhood too. We have quite similar scenery here in West Somerset where we have the Quantock and Exmoor hills and some very pretty villages and thatched cottages. x
ReplyDeleteAs lovely as the previous one, Mary!! Love the little basket filled with hearts!!!

The card looks so different from your other one using the same stamp and embellishments. It is fantastic too. The song is beautiful and her voice gave me goosebumps.
