GD Spot @ Deep Ocean Challenge

A few weeks ago, I was asked by my lovely friend, Alberto, if I would like to be GD for this fortnights challenge over at Deep Ocean. How could I say no?! Some AHmazing talent on that DT, they always provide such awesome inspiration.

This fornight they have a very simple challenge

'HEART'

How you interpret that is up to you - I can't wait to see what you all come up with. It could be a shaped card or loads of heart embellishments. A heart centre piece such as a shaker box or little heart details in the forms of stamps or chipboard pieces. Just a few little ideas for ya! The choice is yours!!

Here is what I came up with..

As for the 'HEART' on my project.. There are a few hearts on the Some Odd Girl image itself, alongside that I have added a green heart stick pin through my seam binding and some sentiments which include little hearts on the letters. Finally I have stamped opposite corners of my patterned paper with a little heart from another Some Odd Girl set in Frayed Burlap DI. I think that just about covers it.

I always try to paper piece the socks on my SOG images, I think it helps tie the whole card together and ensures your image coordinates well with the patterned paper you've used. I love Kaylee's expression in this image and her stripey arm warmers are just the best! Such a fun image to colour.

Here is a close up of the embellishments and sentiments. I love to add bows to my cards using my bow easy tool. I think I have a ribbon addiction and own FAR too much! All flowers are from Wild Orchid crafts and everything else is from The Ribbon Girl.

Here is a quick shot of the inside of my card - decorated to match the front. Quick and easy way to use scraps.
