Today is the start of a special event! Di's friend Darnell from across the pond has initiated a surprise Blog Hop to thank Di for the SEVEN years she has managed the Snippets Playground where we go to share our use of those bits of paper left over from past projects, and generally have an amazing and fun time! Di and the gang are so supportive and it's always a pleasure to visit there.
I used an Inka Gold Smooshed background from my stash, cut it down and
used an old punch to get that decorative edge.
The hearts were left over from a project a couple of years ago and the die cut sentiment
was cut from another snippet of Inka Gold Smoosh.
I used two hearts and glued the center of one atop the other then lifted the edges
of the top one for some dimension.
The love is stacked for added dimension.
Thanks for doing this Darnell! What a wonderful idea to honor a
lovely and generous lady!
The Blog Hop for Di is over at Darnell's Blog
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!

Wow, you just jolted me into the fact that Feb. and V. Day are around the corner...and what a beautiful card to get motivated. Love the stacked heart and sentiment...the use of a border punch...and the pearls and the precious flower embellishment. So feminine! Also, looks like the card base might have been run through a PTI Impression Plate. Ahhh, all those magic Bonnie touches working together so beautifully.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Bonnie and a great one to honor Di! I am loving your inka gold background but it is that heart that has stolen MY heart! lol It is so beautiful. Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteWow! This is GORGEOUS, Bonnie! That Inka Gold background is stunning. So beautifully feminine from the pinked edging to the lacy heart to the pearl accents. Fabulous tribute to the incredible Di. xx
