This week's sponsor is: Polkadoodles <==== click that link to check out their shop!
The design I am using is found at this link: Love Bird Heart Basket Valentine
I used the print and cut feature on **Silhouette Studio software and cut it out with my Silhouette Cameo. I colored them using **Spectrum Noir Classique Alcohol Markers in the colors shown. I will say I have the original Spectrum Noir markers that I have had for many years and they all still work great. The pink glitter background is just pink glitter cardstock. I often won't list details on papers used because quite often I just take from my scraps before any where else.
The Stitched Scalloped Hearts Dies -- I did find these on Amazon but the listing just screams counterfeit to me and I will never knowingly or even if I have a gut feeling support that. I only point you in the direction of Amazon if I don't suspect counterfeits in the listing. In this case I did. I strongly believe in supporting the designers and small businesses. I understand that some crafters are always looking for a bargain but Amazon is flooded with counterfeits and websites such as Temu, AliExpress, Wish, and many more are dealers of counterfeit products. Purchases from them support the thieves and you are robbing the real designers of their income and integrity of their designs and products. They are going out of business and that bargain is costing someone their dream.
For the sentiment, I cut a banner from Riley and Company's Banners and Accents Set and used a stamp from **Hero Arts Clear Stamps with Coordinating Frame Dies Love Birds Stamp & Cut that says "You're my tweetheart" and stamped using **Tim Holtz Distress Oxide in Festive Berries .
I hope you enjoy my card I made with Polkadoodles design.
