Love and Romance

Our first challenge of 2026 starts today over at Creative Moments, with the optional theme of Love and Romance.

I used some patterned papers from my odds box to die-cut the hearts (using X-cuts nesting hearts dies and some Marianne Creatables dies. I stamped the Tim Holtz image onto the large heart and then used a free sentiment that was then heat embossed in red embossing powder to finish.

Flowers and butterflies

Happy New Year to all!

Our first challenge at MAWTT for 2026 is to use Stencils and/or Dies.

I used Nuevo pastes through a floral stencil for my background. I then added some flat-backed diamantes to some of the flower centres to add a little extra sparkle. I used a Hunkydory foiled sentiment label for the centre of the card and then added die-cut butterflies around the edges.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

SimonSaysMonday - Sparkle and Shine

SimonSaysWednesday - Add a sentiment
