I used a rectangular offcut of mountboard and coloured it over all with Barn Door Distress Ink. I coloured the image with my Promarkers and fussy cut before sticking to the base. I then used a Tattered Lace die to cut the little heart flourishes - they are attached to a much larger heart die but I've used the flourishes more than the heart! The flourishes were cut in a red card that has a sheen, not quite a Mirri board, and I'm not sure where I got this. Quite a simple project this week but I think it looks quite effective, I hope you agree. In fact, I enjoyed making this so much that I've made another five - some with inspiring words and one with a funny comment for my son. He liked the plaque but decided he didn't have anywhere to display it!!
Please check out all the DT cards over at OSAAT and also check out the prize structure. The prize will be $9 to spend in the Stitchy store for the winner who uses a Stitchybear product.
