I cut the Large Die heart from Sea Glass cardstock. I cut the floral items from Royal Amethyst, Purple Mist, and Snowdrift cardstock and added them to the heart. I cut the sentiment from Royal Amethyst cardstock.
Assemble + Embellish –
I added the heart and sentiment to the card background and embellished with Spectrum Gems.

Hello! Today I am sharing a Christmas card created with the All Hearts Come Home die set from the Spellbinders Christmas Flourish Collection by Becca Feeken.
