H2H - 10th Anniversary Challenge (Be You!)

Welcome to this week's Heart 2 Heart challenge!

Heart 2 Heart is celebrating 10 years this week... that's a long time for a challenge blog to be up and running. 

This type of challenge is open to much interpretation and I'm sure if you visit the design team members' blogs, you will see a lot of variety and various interpretations of this theme. 

Since 2020 is a new decade, many people have made resolutions and decisions about changing something in their lives. It's a hard time now as it is just past the 3 month mark and often, people struggle from the 6-15 week point. My card is designed as a positive reminder that you CAN do it - you really can! Sometimes a little encouragement is all it takes. 

I used Close To My Heart's Complete Creativity Cricut cartridge to create my card. The layout was already done for me - it is designed as an 8.5x11 page but I simply resized it to fit on a standard card. I changed the colour scheme to something brighter and bolder to match the sentiment, which was stamped with pigment ink (2 colours) and embossed. I brushed the flower and butterfly with shimmer brushes and added a paper clip at the top. So easy! 



Come and join us at Heart 2 Heart and show us how you interpret our 10th Anniversary!
