I manually embossed the red metal heart which was in my stash with swirls and then found these TH die cuts which I cut a while back when I was visiting my friend, Linda. I combined a large sheet music heart with a black inner piece and then sponged all the way around in black so it would contrast against the polka dot embossed background. I chose three different fibers - white flat, red bumpy and black crochet thread and braided them together to create a fiber accent for my card. I added a black border to both ends of my white/watercolour background, positioned my fiber gluing the ends to the back and then mounted this to a red layer leaving a small margin all the way around. I mounted the red heart with 3D foam tape and then added the musical heart below it. I glued this large element to my ivory card. Finally, I added a small laser printed greeting which I sponged with a bit of red so it would stand out a bit using 3D foam tape. I seem to always gravitate to hearts for anniversary cards though I don't need much of an excuse to use hearts on any of my cards - one of my favorite elements. Therese
