Be kind to yourself

To me, the sentiment of today's card seems a perfect way to sum up all New Year's resolutions. Maybe I should create a larger version and hang it on the wall in my office space.


I'll try to take another picture tomorrow that shows the embossed stitching on the black strip a little better. I can only see it in this picture if I look at my screen from above. ;-(

Here's the sketch I used:


Materials used:
Sentiment - Tlc Creations (freebie)
Hearts image - Floppe Latte Designs (Country Hearts, 
comes with a rectangle hearts border around the image)
Colouring medium - my new Promarkers (Berry red and Ruby)
Embossing border - Cuttlebug (Just my type set)
PP - from a very old paper pad of an unknown brand
Banner die - Wplus9

Challenges:
Less is More - Black & white plus a splash of colour
Passion for Promarkers - #179 New beginnings (New Year's resolutions)
I Love Promarkers - #149 Monochrome
Allsorts - #168 CAS
