The rain is pouring down in buckets in Sydney this morning - a perfect day for scrapping, but since it's the Easter holidays over here I may have to do the responsible thing and look after the kids instead!
Just a quick post, then, before the little munchkins wake up. It's the 17th of the month so it's time for the Waltzingmouse blog party again. The theme this month is 'New Beginnings' so I've made an engagement card for a couple who are soon going to embark on a 'new' life together.
I love the term 'Happy Foreverness' - it's such a sweet way to wish someone a long and happy married life together. I've kept it very simple as I think the stamps are so pretty it doesn't need much embellishing - just a Nestability heart against a stamped background.
Uh oh, the human hurricanes have woken up so better sign off...
Thanks for stopping by,
Claire xx
Human hurricanes! Never heard that one before :) Your card is gorgeous and so unique. Beautiful striped paper on the heart and love the pink and black.
ReplyDeleteOh that background is so COOL, Claire! I have been seeing patterned papers that are covered with frames, and this looks like one of them...it's so perfectly stamped! Love the pink heart with the stripes against the black and white. What sweet embellishing to go with that sweet sentiment :).
