HMFMC #162 Show some LOVE

It's Monday so that means another challenge from House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge.  This week's theme was picked by our own teamie, Christine, and she is looking for anything relating to LOVE.  Love themed cards are my all time favorite to make, so I was very happy with Christine's pick.  Here is my card for this week's challenge.


This stamp is titled "Wreath Love 02" and it was actually the very first House Mouse stamp I ever bought.  I just love it but it is a very small stamp, so I stamped it and them enlarged it on my copier.  I think it's sweet enough to be larger than it's original size.  I colored it with Copics and then cut it out with SB circle and matted that onto a SB's Heart Circle.  The sentiment was done with an edge embossing folder by Cuttlebug.  I added a couple of the negative hearts both on the image piece and the sentiment panel.     The background is embossed with an M-Bossibilities by SB.  My teammates have some fantastic cards to share with you so please hop on over to House Mouse & Friends found here    and check them all out.  You will find a ton of inspiration there and hopefully you will join us for the challenge.  We'd love to see how much  "LOVE" you have to share with us.  Don't forget you could also win some prizes just for joining us.

Di's BIO:  {I have been drawing since a child and studied graphics at College many years ago, I now work as a Medical photographer part time but my love was always drawing. I started cardmaking about 4yrs ago when I bought my daughter a cardmaking kit which we did together, but I’m afraid I got the bug! My daughter preferred scrapbooking. I then started looking online at other blogs and this then became my passion and I loved sharing my cards with like-minded people.  I love stamping and loved finding images, but sometimes I could not find what I wanted so I started to draw myself.

This then has become my second addiction and I have never looked back, I love thinking of new images, and its just fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art. Long may it continue! }

  20. Donna, this is too cute! They are precious and I totally see why this was your first purchase. I think my first one was the one with the little tiny medicine dropper or camera one. Love that you made it larger so we could see it even better. Great dies too. Just precious all the way around (no pun intended). Hugz!
