for the inchie swappers
regular participants of my swap may have noticed that when I return the inchies, I blu-tack them to a background I have made. I was preparing the backgrounds for this months swap, and thought I would like to present them on the front of a card so that it feels like receiving a valentine card. however, now I've made it I'm not sure I want to cover it up. so I have to decide whether to stick them over it or inside the card.
The heart stamps (autumn leaves) were a very thoughtful present from one of the swappers. The text is by non-sequitur, the word by vap, the pattern down the side was a lace stamp from non-sequitur but was too weedy so I stamped over it with some flourishes from crafty individuals. the red ink is fired brick distrss and I went round the edge with a black marker pen
