A bit of a 'hearty' card!

I'm back to showcase my 3rd GDT card for Conie Fong for the February Challenge on Facebook  The theme is 'Love' and I think I might have over done it with the hearts! The image is called 'Sweetheart Bella with Love' and I think you will agree with me that she certainly is a sweetheart! The hardest thing about being a GDT for this challenge is narrowing down my choice of images from Conie's Etsy shop - it is jammed full of beautiful images!

Sorry about the photo heavy post, but as usual, I wanted to do a shaped card and chose this 'peek-a-boo' style of which there are several Youtube tutorials 

Front:


Middle:


Inside:

This one looks a bit lop-sided, but I didn't get the aperture central and had to jiggle my image to fit!

The gorgeous papers are from Dovecraft's 'Paper Posies' pad and I have inked the edges with 'Abandoned Coral' distress oxide ink
I have used Creative Expression's'Lovehearts'embossing folder on the front flap
Dies used: X-Cut 'mini filigree heart' and the 'large filigree heart' ( for the small hearts 'waste')
Finished off with a mini bow and enamel dot

'Love,love,love' - Incy Wincy
