Passion For markers use Red &/or Hearts

 Good morning from a very wet Manchester. I would say roll on Summer but that would bring my Grandsons school full time closer. Gosh I dont think I am ready for it and unsure if he is although happy to play with Children he meets and is such a old head. 

Well it is time for a new challenge at

Passion For Markers

This week we would like to see Red & / or Hearts

it doesnt have to be a valentine card as mine isnt

Our challenge is sponsored by

 Dies to Die For 

for my card I am using this months freebie from Sweet November Stamps called Heartly and is available to purchase HERE

Made a Long slim card base with some gunmetal pearlized grey card matted with red then added a Heart & Swirl embossed panel.

Coloured image with markers and fussy cut

stamped the sentiments and trimmed

added some red gems to finish off.

Love this embossing folder and unsure what it is as I had a few sheets given to me by a friend and kept safely tucked away. It is a large one maybe A4 as I used the previous sheet on a 8x8 card and this was what was left. So if you know please leave me a comment.

Well lots of fab inspiration on the challenge. So please pop over and check them out.

Thanks for your visit and have a lovely day.
