You Mean the World To Me


Thought I would pull out this cool die from My Favorite Things the other day.  I really love the design of this, and the size means that there's really not a whole lot else you need to do with it.  It's almost an instant card!

The patterned paper is an old SC Abroad pattern, but I thought the circles were a perfect complement to the die.

I did want to add a little extra oomph to the earth, so I VERY roughly traced where the continents were on my green cardstock and added a bit of shading with a Copic marker.  This really was very approximate, I just wanted a little texture to the green, but didn't want to have to worry about lining things up perfectly.


For a pop of extra color I added a die cut heart to the sentiment too.

That's all for today, see you in April!
