Stitched Triggers


I've not played along with the Tuesday Trigger over at Moxie Fab World in a while but this week's trigger image really shouted at me and I went straight on and made a quick little card perfect for this time of year. http://www.moxiefabworld.com/2013/02/tuesday-trigger-cross-my-heart.html


The blue die cut tag is from an spellbinders set that is exclusive to Waltzingmouse stamps  (it has matching stamps too "wink") and I simply added a cream panel to the centre by drawing around the inside and fussy cutting it out.  The reason this trigger image spoke to me so loudly was that I knew I had an as yet uninked cross-stitch style alphabet stamp set - so I used the letters to spell out love instead of stamping a heart (there is one of those in this stamp set too - it's by marianne designs)  I finished with some hand drawn stitching around the edge of the cream panel, added a little paper rose and used some pink floral washi tape to add interest to the background.

I'm also entering it into the following challenges:
