BASIC GREY Challenge 22 - Hearts

Well here i go again with my very first card using the new 'Porcelain' papers from Basic Grey. Not sure yet!........ but i think this collection is my favourite from the new releases, and i've decided to enter this design for the hearts challenge over at Basic Grey Challenges.

I've used 'Chantilly' paper as my background and added some borders from the element stickers that also come in the 12 x 12 collection pack.
The heart is some copy paper packaging from the office! cut with my Cricut machine and i have inked this with a Chestnut Roan cats eye, then added some Cinnamon Stickles over the entire surface with a paintbrush.
The flowers are some Prima's that i've had for ages, along with a tiny ribbon bow and a 'Porcelain' glazed brad. The sentiment is Hero Arts. Card base is 5.5" x 4.25" aka A2!

I hope you enjoy my first design and as usual............................... there will be lots more to follow!! ;-D

Hugs

    Gorgeous card!! I'm so jealous you have the new Porcelain papers. I love the heart! Did you have to use the deep cutting blade on your Cricut? (Sorry I'm not sure what the technical name is for it.) Thanks for stopping by Basic Grey Challenges this week!

    I love that card you scavenged from work - maybe you should market it. Both cards you used it on are fabulous.
