A heart that loves is always young....a card for Make it Monday #119 - Flagged Borders



Hello Friends,
My sweet Mother needed a card for some friend's who are celebrating their anniversary.  I decided to use the Make it Monday #119 - Flagged Borders for my inspiration.



I stayed very close to Dawn's wonderful original card after watching her video several times.  I made a 5" square card instead of an A2 though.  The sentiment is from Everyday Photo Finishers.  Love that set!!!!!  The background stamping behind the sentiment on the sweet blush panel is a small rose background stamp from a My Mind's Eye stamp set called "Find Your Wings and Fly"
Here is a close up:
The papers for my banners and the card background are from several sources.  Digital papers from
Iralamijashop on Etsy  and from Crafty Secrets.   I also used some scraps from my scrap bin and some "Vintage Marketplace" papers from Bazzill.  Love the shabby chic feel of this card!!!

The adorable heart hanging from the sentiment panel is from my friend Ivana who blogs at Paper Girl Crafts.  I won a recent giveaway and received the sweetest happy mail package from her!  Ivana has a wonderful Etsy shop called Ivana's Creations with all sorts of yummy goodies that she creates - including these hearts and the sweetest little embellishments with pearls and flower impressions.  I love visiting her blog for TONS of inspiration!  Thanks for my goodies Ivana!  You are a sweetheart!

Thanks for taking a look at my card!  And thanks to Dawn for the wonderful inspiration!
Hugs,
Jill
