Distressed heart ...

Good afternoon!  It's unusual for me to be here on a Monday afternoon but this week is half term holidays for the schools and as I work in a school office that means that I'm on holiday for a week!  More time for crafting (and housework?) and spending time just chilling!

 For those of you that follow my blog or popped by on Sunday for a visit will know that I had a lot of trouble creating a one layer card involving an embossed heart (here).  This card has been created using the heart that I inadvertently cut out of the card yesterday turning the disaster into a "happy little accident".

 From one layer to mulitple layers - old book paper, natural hessian, cream hessian, ink splodges, card stock, and a metal button along with the stamped, coloured and embossed heart!! In fact there is nothing one layered about this!


I'm going to enter the challenge at Mixed Media Card Challenge blog

and the STAMPlorations monthly challenge

Enjoy!
