Red Meant to Be

As I write this, one of our sons is hopefully about to sail from Dover – 3 hours late – due to the Channel being closed last night. Tomorrow he will be driving through France, to stay with us for a week. He is bringing his little daughter, who will have her first skiing lessons on the slopes of Mont D’Or, which is about 2 hours from here. I can’t wait to see them both again.

This is the second card using red I have made recently – a colour I wasn’t too fond of – but I’m really getting to like it now.

What I used –

Image – Meant to Be by LOTV – coloured with Promarkers

Papers from my stash

Dies – Kensington border by Memory Box, small hearts from the La La Land Heart Border

Heart button and twine from Ribbon Girl

Ribbon and gems from my stash

Sentiment from LOTV

WOW this is just fabulous! Love your choice of papers and design! Truly love how you’ve used the border die across the bottom … I never thought to do that … I always put it down the side! Thanks for inspiration! Well done!
Thanks so much for joining us at The Sisterhood’s ‘LOVE YOU’ challenge and please come back again soon!
