Tunnel card featuring a large heart, an embossed strip and a little fussy cut heart

For my fourth tunnel card I started with some cool decorative paper in red and ivory.  You can check out my first card here. I trimmed the card and then the tunnel from a diamond patterned paper that coordinated nicely.  I hand drew a heart on the fold of the tunnel and cut it out my hand.  I stamped the greeting (SU) in red on the inside of the card and watercoloured it to coordinate.  I stamped some little flourishes (Sugarloaf) all around it. I adhered the flaps of my tunnel to the inside.  To decorate the outside I used the heart I had cut from the tunnel.  I folded it in half and cut another heart out of it.  I embossed (CB) a pink piece of cardstock and long strip of red cardstock (SX) then assembled my large element.  I ran the strip from the back to the front through the large heart and then captured it with the pink embossed layer.  I trimmed a fish tail on one end of the strip and then adhered this element to my card front then trimming the other end of the strip to the edge of my card.  I fussy cut a little heart with a bow (digital - Melonheadz), watercoloured the bow in pinks and the heart with a shimmery champagne colour.  I mounted this little heart to my card front using 3D foam tape.  Therese
