HEARTS MADE WITH LOVE FOR FRIENDS!


I love making hearts, and even more to  dear friends.On this first one, I tryed a new thing ,(that I read about on a wonderful blog-now forgot the name) . I bleached a live leaf, and ended up with this
fantastic result, harmonating wonderfully with the rusted old key, and sepia toned image!


Here I uses some dyed laces from my own stach, I know I used
acrylic watered down paint. This Paper Whimsy girl, is one
of my favorites.


Also have sewn some little cards this year. this one I added
embossed papers  made with a Tim Holz embossing folder.


And this one stamped with a stamp from I think was Bo Bunny,
I love this tiny sewed collage cards, and 
hope the recievers does ,too :-)
(sorry for the blurred photoes )


The sun shines on the snow filled island today, and it is a beautiful day.
I wish all of you out there ,-be it in summer or winter destinations,
a wonderful week filled with happy plannings for the coming christmas.

Many hugs and love
Dorthe

Hello Dorthe,
Your fabric hearts are truly lovely! I clicked on the image so I could see it better. I love that leaf! It really does lend a beautiful natural touch! The other heart too, is really sweet. I do adore PW girls! Your fabric cards are also romantic and beautiful.
This year, due to the flu, I am way behind in mailing out my Christmas cards...they will be New Years cards by the time they arrive at their destinations! Lol!
I am wishing you a lovely holiday season, and not toooo cold. : )
Hugs,
Terri

Dear sweet friend, Dorthe
I can see your heart in the hearts created with so much feeling. They are truly adorable and just the sweetest images and words.
The collaged cards are so cleverly created with gorgeous images once again!
That is such a cool technique bleaching that leaf - how effective it looks with the rusted key.
I hope you are keeping snuggled up this evening and enjoying some little down time now my very dear friend.
My fond love goes all the way to you from here this morning!

Your hearts and fabric collage is pure genius. I have done very little of it, I hope I will be able to do some this year. I am so inspired to pick up the needle when I visit you....which is not often enough. I am so glad to be able to catch up with your posts.
