I created this card for my DH for Valentine's!! I started with a black quarter sheet of cardstock which I trimmed slightly to leave an even border all the way around. I stamped it with a flourish background (IO) and embossed it with red embossing powder. It worked out great!! I rubbed on a bit of gold mica powder to add a bit of depth to it and stitched it to the front of a kraft coloured card using black thread. I added a red layer (ATC from my stash) that had a metal butterfly, some black stamping and a gold shimmer finish over which I mounted a square of serendipity background in reds and golds. I created my focal element using a laser printed digital image of a heart with leaves (CLKER) which I trimmed and watercoloured. Once it was dry I added some clear dimensional magic to the heart and berries. Once that was dry I mounted it to my card using 3D foam tape. I really like the vintage look in the red, white and black colour scheme!!
