Keeper of My Heart

 

There is a song that I love called Secret by Seal.  And in the song there is a line that says “I’m your heart’s keeper” and I thought what a nice sentiment to use on a card.  Well I didn’t want to use the exact line from the song so I changed it a little for my card and it reads “You’re the keeper of my heart”.  Isn’t it a perfect sentiment for a Valentine’s card?  Let me know what you think of the sentiment and the card.  Below the photos is information about the card.

The image on the card is a Digi Image by Karen’s DoodlesIsn’t the elephant precious? He was colored with Prisma color pencils and mineral spirits. The flowers are made from six individual hearts.  You can see how its done here (however I did not have the die that was used).  I cut six hearts using my Cricut and SCAL.  The centers of the flowers are buttons with twine bows. And if you look closely the edges of the flowers have Star Dust Stickles on each of the heart’s petals. The swirls (made with foil paper) have buttons on them too and their centers are rhinestone bling.  I also used a heart button with a twine bow to hold the front of the Easel card upright.  The two corners near the sentiment are decorated with more bling.  The color theme is White, Red & pink. And I forgot to mention that I used black thread for the string on the balloon to give it more dimension.  Plus all the bling on my card can be purchased at Stamping Scrapping.
