Auntie card

Hello friends and happy Monday to you.  I hope you're having a great day and enjoying the warm and sunny weather we're having - always the same when the kids are about to go back to school isn't it.  I'm not much for the sun but love seeing my washing blowing on the line in the sunshine (I'm weird I know lol!).  

I'm back to share the card I made for my sister from my boys.  They call her auntie but I only had a stamp that was spelt aunty but hey ho she didn't mind.  Here is my card:

a close up of the image:

I began by stamping the image and colouring it with Promarkers.  I did debate fussy cutting her but decided against it.  The image does come with sentiments but I wanted to personalise the card for my sister to stamped my own image into the sign with black ink.  I found this really pretty paper in my stash that had gold accents so used that along with some gold card for the mats.  I also cut some hearts from the gold card and also some gold glitter card.  I added the paper to the gold card with liquid glue and adhered it to my 6x6 card base.  The image panel was also added to gold card with liquid glue but this was then added to my card with foam tape.  The hearts were added around the image with liquid glue (I did add a small foam square to the larger hearts that overhung the image panel for stability).  I didn't feel the card needed anything else as it was busy enough.  I forgot to take a photo of the inside but I just added a couple of the hearts into the bottom corner.
