It doesn't show as well as I had hoped, but the heart is rimmed with glitter. I love glitter, but glitter doesn't like to be photographed. Ever notice that?
I went around and around on what color to use where for this card. I cut pieces in one, two or three colors and kept mixing and matching them until I finally ended up with what you see here. Then I decided that I would use some of the left over stamped scraps for the inside of the card. I'd like to say "nothing goes to waste" but it's really only a very small part of what I didn't use.
Here is the sketch from Atlantic Hearts. Why don't you give it a try? It's really fun!
