Hi everyone. Today I'm using one of the sweet die-cuts from the new Timeless Release. This is
51-497 plant our love die. Isn't it adorable??!! I used a sentiment from another new stamp set,
30-560 from the garden.
This is my favourite style of card ... a bright colourful and interesting background with a clean, white die-cut that pops with the contrast. Today's card was super easy to make. I used one of my mop-up paper towels (used from mopping up excess ink after another project). I separated the layers and wraped one layer around a piece of card stock, securing with glue. That is the background. I added a simple white frame and the adorable pot of hearts over top. I stamped the sentiment in black ink and used the large heart part of the die (normally used to decorate the pot), as an add-on beside my sentiment.
Here's a close-up ...
You can see the quilted design from the piece of paper towel in the background. Adds lots of texture, along with the bright colours.

I love your paper towel background cards, Lolly! I need to play with ink more often so I can have some to use! I think it is so clever and so ecological and it certainly does add a lot of texture and beautiful colors to a CASlicious white card! That pot of hearts is adorable and what a great idea to balance your sweet sediment with the heart punctuation!! Hugs, Dolly

What a great idea to use the kitchen towel mop up piece as a background to the pretty pot of hearts Loll, which gives wonderful contrast, and love the black sentiment and the sweet little WOW heart to finish. x
