Snuggle up Hearts

Morning to all of you. Hope your weeks getting of to a good start. I bought this new stamp at the weekend and couldn't wait to get it inked up. It's so adorable don't you think!
Of course it's from the House Mouse range and I have used promarkers to colour the image.
The backing papers are from Dovecraft and their packs are great for finding things that match well together.
I have stitched on the image to emphasis the stitching on the boot with some white wool. It looks really effective. Of course you couldn't have a boot like this without a bit of bling and a few sparkly gems did just the trick. Love them!!
I have also added a border strip and laced it up to keep the theme running nicely. The hearts at the bottom are die cut and embossed using a spellbinders die.
My girls were not interested in their beads anymore and I had kept them in a cupboard)as you do!). When looking through the box I noticed these lovely heart shaped ones and I have recycled them to finish the card of perfectly, This bead box is now having permanent place in my craft room. Waste not want not as we say!!

I m entering this card into the following challenges:
House Mouse Monday and Friends challenge 112 -"Love" and a blog hop
The Sweet Stop challenge SSS143. sketch
Allsorts challenge - one or more hearts
Cute Card Thursday challenge 201 - Your'e a Gem

Well I hope you like my card and thanks for looking. Hope you all have a good week
Bye for now
Catherine
