Here is the card I designed using the "You are Cherished" set. I stamped this beautiful heart image and heat embossed with fine detail white EP- both for my background and on the cut out heart.  I distressed the bg panel, and the sentiment was stamped and heat embossed on a piece of vellum, and held in place with 2 pretty pearl embellishments. This soft pink cs is a favorite MFP color and the ribbons is a perfect match!!!

Tues. Jan. 10, 2012 Playing with svg cut files and a sneak peek

I totally forgot that I had software to use cut files, so I have been playing with them the past few days.  This was a freebie (from somewhere) and is such a pretty round flourish. I made the rolled rose and the leaves were punched.  The sentiment is from the soon to be released stamp set, from Mark's Finest Papers, called "You are Cherished".

Thanks for coming by to visit!  It means a lot to have you stop by!   ...Karen
