Beautiful Swans

 Morning and I have two DT posts today- the second one is for Elizabeths "Heart"challenge at

 Dragonfly Dreams.

My card is another decluttering result lol,I found the oddment of P.paper with the image on and just had to cut a small piece off to make it fit card, then die-cut a circle,then die-cut the small image from the bonus paper pad page which I thought was apt as Swans mate for life.The sentiment was found in my sentiment jar-so done and already claimed lol.

Great use of your stash, I like how the card is romantic but in a rustic and not too cute way, a beautiful style in my opinion.

Wowza, LOVE that pretty woodgrain paper - so perfect for this elegant card! Great effect! Thanks so much for playing at Make My Monday!

Leslie Miller said...

I really did think this was a 3D piece. Took me a while to figure out that the image is part of it. So beautiful! I love when a card comes together like this. Decluttering has a way of bringing some beautiful things to the surface!

Helen said...

Such a beautiful vintage Valentine's card. I love this picture of these swans in love. And this 3D look is really fascinating. Your die cut circle looks so great with the paper. It just seems like it belongs together. Thank you for sharing your romantic project with the current Do-Al(l) Kreatives challenge.
Hugs Uschi
