Smitten.....



You've gotta love 'freebie' papers- although these aren't strictly free, they were with Creative Cardmaking - especially when they are matt and good quality. So many free papers are glossy and absolutely useless because they are printed back to back and you can see the other side through them. Creative Cardmaking's papers are always good especially when they are offering Nit-Wit collections, which these are. I used 3 different papers, 2 love-themed and a plaid. The layout is ultra simple, pinched from somewhere on 'tinternet, can't remember where,sorry! The orange panel was matted onto a white border with MS punch edging, then a smaller love-words panel was adhered over it with foam pads. The cherub was cut from orange glittercard with an orangey-red heart adhered with silicone glue to add dimension and to make sure it stays put! 'Smitten' was cut from more glittercard with a white cardstock shadow. Three punched hearts, smaller hearts scattered around the cherub and some orange ribbon complete the front. The inside was very simply finished with a punched border (I've since added another panel to the centre of the inside of the card-it was too plain!)
Carts used:
