Snippets of White Card for the heart and sentiment strip.
White Funky Foam.
White Base Card 8" x 8" cut down to just under 6" x 6".
I started with a snippet of white card which I embossed with the freebie hearts embossing folder.
I found another snippet of white card and die cut the heart. I smooshed it with the two reds and the orange, and then finished with the bubble wrap inked up with the purple colour and spritzed with a little water. When dry I stamped the heart with Versamark and heat embossed with Clear Gloss EP.
I cut a strip from another snippet of white card and using the Misti I stamped the sentiment and heat embossed using the Gold EP and then cut it into a fishtail banner.
When I assembled the card I added a piece of funky foam to the underside of the heart to give it a bit of dimension and finished by adhering the sentiment strip across the heart and glued it either side leaving it loose in the middle.
Thank you for joining me here today and I'll be back soon.

A great anniversary card Pat!
What an absolutely beautiful card this is Pat. I love the effect you've achieved with the bubble wrap on the heart. In the photo it looks just like alcohol inks! I also like the way you've put your banner across the heart. It's a gorgeous Anniversary card. Barbxx
What a beautiful card. The embossed background is subtle and yet sets off the main heart perfectly! Those colours are gorgeously rich and vivid. Lovely! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Less is More :)

This is fabulous, Pat! I love the embossed background and texture that you have added to the heart - it makes a great focal point. Thank you for playing along with us at Less is More :)
A gorgeous card Pat, do love the embossing folder...it's so elegant. Carol x
Lovely card with the striking coloured heart, I have just used that folder too and really like it
So PRETTY! This is a very similar shade of 'bubble color' that I had cut just prior to the Bubble challenge. Didn't know how to use it, but after seeing your bright heart on the embossed white, I'll be CASE-ing this idea. It's a great look with the bubbles and the distress inks..so now we know several techniques with this packing stuff. I really like the embossing design too! TFS & Hugs
Gorgeous card Pat! Love the clean look too.

Oh, how clever to stamp with the bubble wrap, Pat - you got a lovely look with it!!!!! Your card is such a great CAS creation and the dry embossing is really beautiful!!! You have a lovely selection of mag freebies, hey - at one stage I also bought all the overseas mags that are available over here, but it just got too expensive - can't do it anymore!!!!! :( Enjoy the mags and all the lovely extras they offer!!!!
Have a great day!!!

What a gorgeous embossing folder - the perfect background for your lovely bubble wrap stamped heart!
The detail in that amazing bubble wrap stamped heart is phenomenal Pat. It gives the illusion of so much texture and is a fantastic use of the adjacent colour wheel colours. Love the texture you added with the embossing folder too. Thanks so much for sharing this with us at Less is More xx
This is beautiful, Pat! I love how your play with the bubble wrap gave your heart a ton of depth! And, wow, that e/f and sediment make this a well-balanced design!! Thank you very much for playing in my NBUS Challenge #10 and joining in the optional theme! Hugs, Darnell
Oh wow, I know Darnell has got us all bubble wrapping but you've done an absolutely wonderful job with it here. A stunning card
