Hello

I made this card to send to Gundi for the February Card Chain Challenge.  I used the Colour Option (Aubergine, Crushed Rose & Coffee Cream), the Sketch Option and the Theme Options (Hearts & Friendship).

I attached a piece of cream patterned paper to the front of the card blank, leaving a border around the edge before attaching a strip of burgundy paper (the nearest I had to aubergine) down the left side.  I die cut three hearts from snippets of pink and cream patterned paper and followed the sketch to attach them to the card.  The largest was glued to the card and the smaller hearts were attached with foam tape.  I die cut 'hello' from another snippet of burgundy paper and attached it to the lower edge of the card.  To finish I added dark red enamel dots to the hearts.

To make this card I used:
     7" x 5" white matt card blank
     Spellbinders Nestabilities 'Classic Hearts' and Altenew 'Simply Hello' dies
     Snippets of Lili of the Valley 'Heartfelt' and 49th and Market 'Vintage Artistry in Blush' papers
     Dark red metal nailhead stickers

I am entering the following challenges:
     Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge - Anything Goes
     Love to Craft - Anything Goes
     Love to Scrap - Anything Goes
     Snippets Playground - Challenge 422

This is the lovely card I received from Jo - it's so pretty and arrived on a day when we were both in need of a few hugs.  Thank you Jo!

The card you made for Jo and the one you received back are so pretty Kath. I love your burgandy/aubergine and cream papers, and the scraps of different patterned pink papers look great for the hearts. x

Hi Kath

I LOVE your card full of hearts and a happy hello. The card you've received in return is also lovely.

I am sending you some more hugs, just in case they're still needed. Do you need a nice cup of hot chocolate?? Find a comfy chair in the Playground treehouse if so! xxx
