12 Days of Christmas: Day 5- Broken Heart

I'm back with my project as promised! I just used my lesser camera rather than waiting for the other to charge, so I apologize in advance for the not-so-great picture. For today I made an anti-Christmas type of card. This is one that you would send out to that ex who just ripped your heart out, with an extra special "I still hate you" note attached to the inside.



The anatomical heart comes from Smeared Ink's Quoth the Raven stamp set. I kept the colors really simple with black and white, and bold pops of red. The song lyrics were printed on glossy paper, and I added in some brads, punched hearts, glass beads, and wire. The final touch is the "Broken Heart" sentiment by the heart.

This anti-Christmas card definitely gets straight to the point! I hope you've enjoyed taking a look, and if you haven't already, please hop to all the other Jolly Bloggers for great S&S style projects.

  6. Thanks for all the positive comments guys! I know this is definitely not traditional :)
    I don't have anyone in particular that I want to send it to, it was more inspired by the song lyrics than anything else because I happened to catch it on the radio yesterday.
