A CASE of Forever...

Inspired by this weeks CASE Study card, with its red-backed negative die-cut heart, X marks the spot and corrugated card base, together with this weeks Little Red Wagon Text Me and City Crafter Forever Mine challenges. Papers are from Crate Paper, and upcycled corrugated card from a Christmas gift.  Stitched with half embroidery thread (3 strands instead of 6).  To make stitching easier, I die cut the letters and hand cut the heart first, then marked out my stitching lines on the reverse of the text paper - so I didn't need to remove any pencil marks after stitching.  Hard to tell from this angle, but the text paper is pop-dotted too :)

Almost forgot to add my wedding pic in here as part of the challenge the fabulous & lovely Ardyth co-ordinated to help celebrate the very funny & creative  Darnell & Misters wedding Anniversary, so here I am with my Mister, over 20 years ago...
