I made this caard to boost my Christmas Card Stash, but since there are no traditional colors in the CCC gallery this month, I am using it for my ABC challenge. I had cut the Blooming Heart thinlit in green and cut it down to a smaller heart for some other project. That left this nice Heart frame that I needed to do something with. So I made a simple card. I cut a scalloped stitched panel for the BG of my card and placed the heart where I wanted it to be and lightly marked with pencil. Then I removed the heart and stamped my greeting. I put the heart back in place and anywhere it covered part of the words of the greeting, I simply cut away a little of the frame. The two places where the line of the greeting went through the frame still, I used a marker and drew the line across the frame. I adhered the panel to the card base and stamped a greeting on another white panel for the inside of the card.

Very cool. I don't think I would have ever thought of cutting this down for your other project. Good save with the rest of it. Really works with that sentiment!

What a lovely heartfelt Christmas card this is Pat. I love the scalloped layer that showcases your lovely wreath and heartfelt sentiment. How nice to have a Christmas card done and the letter C too! ~Karen.

Pat, you have given us a new idea, cutting out that heart, making a frame for your words. So clever! Love the traditional colors, and the scallops! Lovely Christmas card.
