I have an Anniversary card to show today which I actually made back in December but never got around to showing. I often look on Pinterest to get some ideas when the mojo is a bit lacking and mine is definitely having difficulties at the moment. I found quite a few cards having cut out heart shaped apertures with paper behind including this one here by Kasia Curry which I liked because the hearts went over the edge, so I thought I would do something along the same lines.
I started by cutting out the hearts from a snippet of cream card using my Nellie Snellen Multi-Frame Hearts die, the smaller of the plain hearts in the set. I took a piece of patterned paper from a freebie set by My Mind's Eye, which came with a magazine some time ago, and placed it underneath, then mounted that on to a snippet of black card. I found a snippet of bright pink card and mounted that on to another snippet of black card, and finished by layering it all up on to a square white card.
I finished the whole thing off with a Papermania sentiment stamped using Black Archival ink and then using a black Micron pen I outlined the hearts with faux stitching.
Thank you for looking at my blog today.

Thanks Di, but do have to admit that was not totally my idea but was borrowed from Kasia who has done some lovely work too. x
Very pretty Pat, the pattern paper looks great behind the cut out hearts. Have a wonderful day, Shirleyxx
Pat, this is so tender and sweet card! Love the use of patterned paper, and the composition of the card, hearts scattered around and off the edge!
Super card design Pat

What a pretty country look to this lovely Anniversary card. Would work nicely as a valentine card as well. The papers were so complimentary in this design, and I'm so envious of that even faux stitching. That was a very nice extra detail that emphasized the hearts I think. My MoJo is not super strong either. Pinterest browsing just expends my time, cause when I think about making a card, everything I've seen, just flies right out of my brain! Happy wkend, TFS & Hugs
Fabulous beautiful card

What pretty stitched hearts, Pat! Love these colors! Thanks for the shout out. Glad to be a follower.
Lovely design and the faux stitching looks very effective, making the hearts really stand out. Great way to use up those patterned snippets too. xx
