Ok, let me start from the beginning. The inspiration for my card today came from a card that I saw on Pinterest that I pinned to my card inspiration board awhile ago. Recently while going through the closet that had the bin of supplies that makes me feel guilty every time I look at it, I pulled out a swatch of fabric with the intent of course to do something with it on a card. So while looking on my Pinterest board for something to jump out and grab me, even though the original uses burlap, somehow it triggered a thought that maybe today was the day to use that swatch that's been staring at me on my desk. Bleeker (my naughty but oh so cute puppy) actually helped out with this one. You see if I don't push my desk chair in when I get up for like um 30 seconds, he will be on it and up on my desk to see what he can craft with. Today it was this heart, so some of the distressing around the edges is actually some of his handy work!
Anyway ~ Heartfelt Thanks goes to the original inspiration piece here from Andrea Ewen.
