Hello Classy Friends, Diane here with you today.

Have you seen all the new things Classy Cards 'n Such 

has in the store?

I have started out my New Year with a shopping spree.

Nothing better to cheer you up in this cold weather

then a package full of new paper supplies to play with!

One of the new items I purchased is the Memory Box Hearts Heart Confetti

stencil I have used for my background.

I stenciled using a Mixed Media ColorBox ink called "Peaches".

To apply the ink, the TH Mini Ink Blending Tool came in very handy!
TIP: Lightly apply the ink randomly in some places
and heavier in other places, giving it a more muted/natural look.

I really wanted the background to take somewhat center stage so to speak

so I kept my card elements to a minimum, which brings us to another new

in store product, Memory Box Meadowbird Branch.

This is a fabulous die, and the branch comes with four pieces and the bird two.

I colored the bird with Copics to match the background hearts.

I had also purchased a new Memory Box die called Beloved Hearts.

Though I haven't used it on this card, I did on a previous one, and when cutting

it out, it also cuts all these extra tiny hearts, which I am using one for the bird to hold.

I just love the pop of red on the card!

I added ribbon and a Coral Pearl to my bow.

Thank you for visiting with me today, and I encourage you to give these stencils a try!
