Surprise Fold lol

 Morning and we have a new ATG challenge today at The Crafty Addicts.Now this fold came about by accident---I mean how many diamond point cards have I made but this one I cut from the wrong corner??? I tucked the piece I cut off into the card and had a lightbulb moment as it looked fine lol.P.papers from Paper Favourites ,circle die from Creative Crafts and the rectangle one is a Penny Black Antique Frame. I found the sentiment in my sentiments jar and glued it on a piece of hessian.The flower images were die cut from the bonus page in the beautiful Watercolour Flowers paper pad  the 12"paper are so beautiful and double sided---so which to use??? Stupidly I only bought the one pad too!!!

Two Hearts

 Morning and I have two DT posts today-the second one is for the Love/Heart challenge chosen by Larelyn at Pearly Sparkles.

Now I have no heart dies or stamps but luckily my decluttering came to the rescue as found two white die-cut hearts from goodnes knows where as never owned a die like that??? I coloured them red with a promarker and also coloured a strip to cut background of  a Tonic die-cut sentiment.The background dies were bought from a FB decluttering site last year---and why as I am decluttering???
