365 Cards - Day 59 A Certain Sentiment

And quite a fitting sentiment for me anyway from 365 cards today. See my fiance is away on Operational tour at the moment, so my dilemma is...do I put it in with his next parcel or don't I. As much as I make loads of cards, we don't really give them to each other so he would think something was up lol.

Anyways onto the blurb about the card, I used some Allsorts papers which have been gathering dust for a while, I got them from Craftworks Cards but i think other places might stock them now and my fiskars threading water punch.

The alpha stickers are by adorn-it. The bracket frame and heart were cut using my slice machine - noteworthy and basic shapes 1 but I left the scallop off of the heart.

The bracket frame and heart were stuck on with 1mm foam pads to give a bit of depth, I don't really like to use anything thicker than that. To me, foam pads are like push-up bras, just a little lift is all you need, anything else is too bulky and in your face lol!

Right, I think I am going to get sorted for going to my bed now. Am tired and have some new books to be reading.

I would hate for you partner to think something was up if you sent him the delightful card Leigh so you had better keep it in your stash lol.
