A Pouch Full of Love

Okay, I am up waaaayyyy too late. I was sleepy and ready for bed a few hours ago but once I saw Holly's technique challenge post for Monday I knew I just had to play along.

This side step fold is so cool. You can find directions for it, here, compliments of Julie Davison. I also can't take credit for the adorable little heart carrying kangaroo. You can find instructions for him here, on Dawn Olchefske's blog.

I was so excited to be using the Sending Love Specialty dp again. I added some dazzling diamonds to the flowers on the dp panel, behind the kangaroo because he tends to cover up most of the pre-existing glittery elements on the mat. The kangaroo was created from various punches and he is carrying a trio of hearts in his pouch. I tied a length of the new pretty in pink 5/8" satin ribbon around the upper step. I added three punched hearts of varying sizes to the middle step and the bottom step displays the "love you" sentiment, stamped in real red ink on whisper white cardstock. I punched this sentiment out with the modern label punch and matted it with a pretty in pink mover and shaper diecut. I added two tiny pink rhinestones and a punched heart to the layered sentiment.

Well, I better get to bed. I will only get a few hours of sleep in before the morning comes. Have a great Monday!
