It was challenging to say the least to get the jigsaw piece to match exactly. I used an MDF heart shape to draw round and then cut in cardboard covered with the design paper which was an unknown sheet from my stash. Jigsaw die is by Xcut and the ' Foryou' sentiment by Tonic which I die cut four times and glued together for the 3D effect. The red hearts, string and the 'From Me' circle were all in my stash.
I created the wording and printed out ,then adhered to cardboard and die cut with the jigsaw die. I distressed the edges of the jigsaw pieces and the heart with distress inks in red and brown to get the shading that I wanted.

Norm forgot to send Sammy a Valentine card. Offering her a piece of his Yorkie Bar as recompense did not go down very well either! Their romance could well be on the skids!!!!!
Oh dear. I fear Norm has a lot to learn about us Women.
Awesome card for Doc! Love the jigsaw pieces and the text is so striking. The small heart tied onto the piece is stunning! Love your project!
ReplyDeleteNorm has to learn a lot....poor Sammy.

ReplyDeleteI hope Doc loved this card. It is so clever and a great guy card. Someone needs to take Norm in hand and explain things to him. Offering the whole Yorkie Bar might have gone better.
