All occasion card with a embossed heart background and a doodled heart


 Our anniversary is coming up! I made this card for DH to let him know how much I appreciate our years together!!  
I cut a decorative background from a scrapbooking piece of paper.  I embossed the area to the right of the border with a heart embossing folder (CB) and then highlighted with ink. I added some cording and tied it in place.  I trimmed a square of ivory textured cardstock and used a paintbrush with water to create a heart shape in the middle of it.  I started adding colour slowly with little taps of colour - green, yellow and blue.  They all ran into each other and with the water roamed all around inside the shape.  Being too exuberant with the moving of the colour/water mixture I ended up with a drop running off the edge.  So be it!!  After it was dry I added little hearts inside the heart with a fine tipped black marker.  I added paper piercing with my tracing wheel, layered it onto a pieced backer and then distressed the edges.  Mounted it to my card using 3D foam tape.  Therese
