A Gift from the Heart - Mini Easel Card

Hello! Happy Sunday. This is a short posting just to show you my latest card.

I've created a scene for the cardfront using the mini stamps from Magnolia. This card measures only 4 inches in diameter. I've used a new Spellbinders die called Heart Circles.


I've made this into a mini easel card.






I used 3 Magnolias stamps to create the scene. All the stamps are from the You Are So Special Collection 2011. They are: Mini Leaning Tilda, Mini Shy Rose Edwin and Mini Romantic Window. All these stamps are available from Diana's on-line store Magnolia-licious.

Here's a close-up of the scene. I've added some stickles/glitter glue to the roses.





A few challenges that I am entering with this card:

Stamp Something - Anything Goes
Crafts and Me - Challlenge 34- punches
Papertake Weekly - Fancy a Punch
Totally Gorjuss - Challenge 80 - Not Square
7 Kids College Fund - Challenge #21 - Circles
Emerald Faeries - 1st Challenge - Anything Goes


That's all!'
