Anything But a Card

Good morning to all my lovely Friends and Followers. Also a very special welcome today to my new follower Jackie thank you for taking the time to follow my blog I hope you enjoy my posts.
 My post today is my first design team post for Crafting By Designs so a special welcome if you are visiting my blog for the first time from Crafting by Designs.
The Challenge this week is Anything But a Card. I'd bought a kraft card heart a while ago at the craft shop in Whitby North Yorkshire so decided to make use of it and make a wall hanging. I hope you all like it.





 
The second photo shows the side of the wall hanging which is not visible from the front and  the photo below shows it hanging on the wall.
