The stamp used for this card came with a magazine some time ago. There were four little sets of stamps and stencils and I've often used the little stencils but the stamps remained uninked until now when I spotted these two little birds amongst them. I added the hearts using a fine black pen and then coloured using pencils before die cutting the double pointed banners. I tried several ways of using this without success until I suddenly thought of using a large heart behind the image and a couple of flowers and a leaf which were hanging around on my desk and now it has turned out as a 'congratulations' card for maybe an anniversary or engagement.
Paper - from my stash
Large Heart - Tonic dies

What a fabulous card Val, although one of these birds seems a little stand offish. Bought a smile to my face though.

Many thanks for come from Wilko's. I have just pulled them off their stems. They cost a whole £1 each LOL!! I love it when I go in and they have a new colour available.

I love your sweet love birds Val and a great idea to put the heart on each, and the banner shape looks great,and such a pretty heart in the background with the prettily coloured flowers. A beautiful card. x
