In the direction of your heart. - Itty Bitty Challenge.

Sorry for the loong absence in my projects, and glad that you're back here again! Thanks for not forgetting about me!

Today, just wanted to share a simple card with you all, using a quote that should be my 'motto' for this year.  "Go in the direction of your heart."  Isn't that simply beautiful?  Love this stamp from Unity Stamp Company, and had to make a card to submit for the Unity Itty Bitty Facebook Challenge.

I've been loving the Unity Stamps recently, because of the beautiful quotes and art that is available as stamps.  Not only that, they have challenges on their blog and the FB page, with great prizes, so have been joining in on the fun!

Here's the card:



Yeah, I know this is not going to fit into the envelope, but I commonly see elements off the page, and I just love this look! I had to try it!  So yeah, whomever that wants this card - I'm not sending it, so come pick it up :)

The banner and pennant strip that you see here is from My Mind's Eye kraft Fun Day collection.  The twine, too, also comes from that collection.  LOVE the natural colors!  I machine stitched the pennant borders onto the card.



I'm loving this balloon! and decided to stamp them onto various Yours Truly papers from Echo Park and paper pierce them onto the original stamped image. It's adhered onto the card using foam tape so that it pops out.  This is the Absolutely Priceless Itty Bitty by Simple Stories :)  I also added a few clouds, too!



... and this compass comes from the Direction of Your Heart Itty Bitty by Unity, and mounted this onto the perfect compass base file from SVG Cuts. I topped it with a game spinner from Tim Holtz Ideology.



This sentiment comes with the above Itty Bitty and love how it has a distressed look.

Anyway, I'm off to finish my write up for my DT project for SVG Cuts... will finish that off, so look for it soon! I'm featuring stamps from their new Punkin' Patch Stamps All You Need is Love, too! Can't wait to share!

Until then... wish me luck for this challenge!
