Sweet Stampin' - Sentiment Only

Saturday again, and the first one in March, time really is flying these days. I hope you're all managing to keep warm and safe in the winter weather.
As it's Saturday though, it's time for a new challenge over at Sweet Stampin' and this week our theme is "Sentiment Only" and so we want to see the sentiment as the focus of your card, and don't forget to include some stamping!
I used a stamp that was the members gift from the Claritystamp club years ago, before they'd even thought of Groovi and it hadn't seen ink until now. I stamped the heart several times in black archival ink on white card. I coloured them in using spectrum noir sparkle pens using colours inspired by love heart sweets. I trimmed the card down to fit on a 6x6 card blank and cut out one of the leftover hearts. I wanted to wrap some twine round the card, but only had natural twine, so I coloured it (and my fingers and the glass cutting mat) in with a black sharpie. I mounted the panel on some black card with 1mm foam tape on the base. To finish I added the cut out heart over one of the hearts with 1mm tape to add some dimension.
In other news, I'm picking up the bunnies and bringing them both home today! Their bonding has gone really well and Oscar (still deciding on a name for him) is apparently already growing on confidence being with Willow. I've really missed little Willow, although I haven't missed going out in the freezing cold to see to her and refresh her warm snugglesafes at regular intervals!

  1. Great stamp and composition for the challenge- you went above & beyond with your black twine! Willow's new playmate looks gorgeous (could be a "Bracken"?!) You're not going to be hearing the pitter patter of little paws are you?! xx

  16. What a fabulous idea for creating an entire card front with only a sentiment stamp!! Love how you popped the middle one up for some extra interest and dimension. The twine wrap is a nice touch. Awwww, just so adorable! I wish we had room here for some bunnies, they are such beautiful animals! hugs :)
