Heart Easel Card

Hello My fellow bloggers.

I do hope you have finished with all your Christmas shopping & ready to enjoy it all x
I know I am.

What is this weather all about!!!!! It's madness ..... 

Today I have a card to show you that I made a while ago. I purchased the new Tonic Indulgence dies (well they have more out now), lol, from Create & Craft.
I just wanted to have a play with them, instead of putting them away & forgetting I had them.

I combined the Elegant oval (which should have been a circle) & Elegant vine square.
The square gave the shape of the card - oval inside.

Gorgeous card Sally, such an elegant design, the scroll work is so pretty and the flowers buds are the perfect finish! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and that you find some time to craft before you return to work. It's great getting back to some kind of normality isn't it? Best Wishes to you and your family for a Happy New Year :) Donna ♥ x

Thanks for the visit - ref robbed us of a penalty - but then again ref missed a few things for both sides! We didn't deserve to win tho' anyway... squad ain't strong enough to compete - top 6 for us I think (as long as the blue side of Merseyside don't finish above us!!!!)
These tonic dies are nice - must now go and check them out!
Happy New Year!

Good morning Sally, thank you so much for popping in and leaving a lovely comment on my card :o)
Stephen isn't my hubby (had two of those and two divorces). He is my son and he was struck down by a massive stroke in August, so the tax rebate was a ray of sunshine for him.
