The theme for Allsorts Challenge #822 has been chosen by Sarah and she would like to see your designs **Inspired by a Song** or there is of course the anything goes option. Prizes this time are from In2Crafts
I've gone back a good few years to 1945 with a song entitled 'Love Letters Straight from Your Heart' which featured in a film of the same name. I really liked the look of the dies in the form of various letters and have used one of them for this card along with the slatted heart die set. The letter die cut was easily snipped apart so that it could be layered and I sponged a little ink to give it the appearance of a bit of age. The pink backing to the heart was over stamped with some text and I added a die cut sentiment.
Slatted Heart - dies from Craft Addiction UK
Love Letters - unbranded die
Sentiment - die I've had a long time and I think it was a give-away with a magazine
Wonderful card Val, I love the design and the delicate colours. A perfect card for the Allsorts Challenge.

How funny, I too have those love letters dies. Little smile here. Love your card - great idea to add some script behind the heart die cut itself. Certainly makes one look closer. Still waiting for my latest Craft Addictions order - should be here very soon, with luck!

Love your letters card! xx
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous card Val and I love those little envelopes.
ReplyDeleteThat's a perfect interpretation of your chosen song Val. What a romantic card x
ReplyDeleteI love your interpretation of the song using this lovely slatted heart and the little bunch of letters Val, and the bit of script is perfect showing through the heart. I have this die but am having trouble removing the metal 'pips' which held it together, especially on the stitched layer of the die so cannot use that piece as it leaves marks and doesn't look so good. x
