And then, this is my DT card I made for this challenge....



Firstly I adapted the card I made in the Heart Pocket Class on CDAC, and had the fabulous image, Heart Tree, from the Priscillastyles store here on the outside of the heart, and so that it could be split down the middle.


.........the heart doors open up to reveal the sentiment by Kahlil Gibran.

And here is what I did to create this card ...

- The image, once coloured and cut into a heart shape with two tabs on the outer edges, was inked around the edges
- The inside heart was also inked around the edges once the sentiment had been printed on it
- The embossed backgrounds were also inked
- I added a string of flatback pearls, two blingy pink flower gems and a white organza ribbon tied into a bow
- The whole kaboodle was added to a matt black background.


Now if you would like a chance to win fabulous prizes, hop on over to the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge, and enter!

and here's a thought ... If your craft-related company would like some extra exposure by sponsoring a prize for one of the weekly challenges, I would love to hear from you ..... please leave a note for me here and I will get right back to you.
