I created the white panel behind the hearts by dry embossing using an embossing folder and created some matting and layering using the embossed panel and some pink and red card. I added a strip of patterned paper (layered onto red card) across the bottom.
Next I took my die cut hearts and stuck them onto the card, starting with the largest heart. I reinserted the smaller hearts from the middle of the large heart without embossing them, to create some contrast, then layered the slightly smaller heart so it overlapped. I stuck some smaller hearts at the corners. I added the sentiment "I love us" which is from a Tim Holtz Ideology set, and which I think it perfect for a Valentine's card. Finally I added a ribbon bow and some small pearls at the opposite corners to the hearts.
I hope that you are able to join us for this week's Cardz 4 Galz challenge.
