Love Hearts for sale card (Art By Miran images & Flourish with a Bling products)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I was honored to be asked to be a guest designer at Art by Miran this challenge. I chose these 2 beautiful girls (well, one's a fairy) to create a really lovey dovey card. If you'd like to see all Mi Ran's images please click HERE.

To create a card like this it is easier than it looks. I was inspired by another crafter (Katie K) who made an icecream stand card and she also gave a tutorial on her post so I will give you the link in case you'd like to try it - HERE. I also created a card last month using this same shaped card - click HERE to check it out. 

I used a glossy tree, grass and toadstools from Flourish with a Bling.

Thank you so much Mi Ran for having me as your guest designer, I love creating with your gorgeous images.

Hi Crafty friends,

Thank you to my gorgeous followers for still following me, I'm so thrilled to have 264 of you now. The personalised, sweet comments some of you leave me truly makes my day and I want you to know that I treasure every one of them. 

For my card I decided to do a bit of tearing for a change. I'd seen it lately on some of your cards and loved it and hadn't done it myself for quite some time. 

I love this sweet image from Art by Miran, I created with her not so long ago when I was a GDT at Art by Miran (I've added the card below). This time I used part of a fence from Flourish with a Bling (last time I used the tree from Flourish with a Bling).
