We usually get together to celebrate as a family, and this year was no different other than it was a little bit later than normal! But hey, we got there in the end!
I have been really trying to be more creative with my cards and trying new techniques - one such technique from Natasha Foote caught my eye :)
In her video titled We can use WHATEVER you have Natasha shares a technique of placing multiple diecut stamped images close together then cutting them out in a heart shape using a heart die. I don't have a heart die, but I was quite taken with the end result.
So using what I have on hand, I stamped and coloured in my images with Copics and then die cut them.
As I didn't have a heart shape, I used an oval Spellbinders Die as my shape and placed all the die cuts accordingly. A little touch of Kindy Glitz here and there and the empty spaces were filled in with some bling (of course). As the card seemed a bit bare, I sponged the background to give the oval a bit more definition.
The sentiment is from Inkadinkado 'Cupcake' stamp set.

What a cute card! All your food items are so cute and I really like your use of ink to create a border. Thanks for playing at Time Out!
