For this weeks card I used the 7029 Forget Me Not Heart and the 933 Thank You Elegant stamps from SweetStamps.com. I stamped the heart on 36# vellum using White Dye ink and heat embossed it in Queens Gold fine detail EP. From the back side of the heart I dry embossed the berries and the open lines around the heart using a 31412 Etching/Embossing mat and stylus tool. Also on the back side I colored the flowers using a Dove Blender pen and Pitt Artist pens (#167 Green Olive, #136 Purple Violet, #156 Cobalt Green and #125 Middle Purple Pink). On the front of the image I used a Straight Grid, 31419 Piercing/Perforating pad and a PFTA001 Single Needle Tool to pierce the open area in the heart.
To cut out the image I used the Piecing pad and a 10226 4-Split Perforating Tool, I also used the pad and 4-split tool to cut out the center of the heart. The Thank You is stamped using Forget Me Not Shades Dye ink from SweetStamps.com. The French Flairs were die cut using the XL13 French Flair Scalloped from Cheery Lynn Design. I used a Gold Leafing pen to edge the smaller French Flair and used V2 Vellum Adhesive Spray to adhere the heart to the paper. I attached the larger French Flair to the 5-3/4" x 5- 3/4" purple square and layered the ribbon over it, taping it on the back. I used Candi Fix foam dots behind the smaller French Flair and layered it over the ribbon. The leaves and border are glitter stickers.
