It's All Hearts

I've been wanting to try cutting an aperture into a card with my nesties for a while, so today I decided to give it a go. I stuck the Basic Grey Eva paper on first, then cut through the folded card with 2 sizes of nesties (I don't know which one it is, but one is from the bigger set for the Grand Calibur. It didn't quite cut through cleanly, and if I did it again I would put the cutting die next to the front rather than the back.
I put some acetate into the window to give the card some strength. The Art Journey stamps have also been stamped then layered onto more BG papers, and I've added some to the inside for strength.
I love acetate cards, but it's such a pain having to tidy up the inside.
I'm entering this into the Art Journey, The Stampman, and Basic Grey, which are all 'hearts' challenges.
Thanks very much for looking x

    I love the way you've used the Nesties to make the card, Sue. I've been tempted by the large dies but not yet sucummbed!!
    That Art Journey image is one of my favourites too. It's perfect for Valentines isn't it. It's a stunning looking card and I'm so glad you joined us at The Stampman.
    Thanks so much for your lovely comments on my blog.
