I die cut the plain heart first from a snippet of white card. I then added some PVA glue all over it and covered it with the piece of kitchen towel which I flattened as much as possible. I then cut round it with scissors leaving just a small piece to turn over on the wrong side and glued it down with the PVA. I then cut the large scalloped heart from another snippet of white card and coloured with Yellow Brusho. I sprinkled a little on to my glass mat and spritzed it and then laid the heart into it and moved it around until it was covered with the paint. When dry I layered the plain heart over the scalloped one. I thought the plain white 6" square base card needed a bit of interest so I scored three lines in each direction which left a square in the middle where I mounted the heart. I then stamped the sentiment using Versafine Smokey Gray Ink and heat set it with WOW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder.

Gorgeous colors and love the yellow trim on the heart. The scoring adds such a nice touch, too! Thank you for sharing with us over at Happy Little Stampers CAS Challenge this month!
great idea covering the card with kitchen roll, it really adds texture to your heart. Love the mix of blue and yellow :)
Pat, I am glad to see you joined us at AAA Cards Challenge. I really enjoy your brushos coloured heart and the bright Spring colours of the card. Made me think of daffodils. Thank you - Sweet Kobylkin
A lovely card Pat and the kitchen towel looks lovely - far too pretty to throw away!

Very pretty, sunny card, Pat and great idea to use the paper towel!
Gorgeous Spring Brushos watercolors, Pat. Love your smaller heart made from the prettiest paper towel I have ever seen:-) You are so clever. Such a pretty frame with your larger die cut heart too. TFS and so pleased you joined us at CAS Watercolour. Hugs
Gorgeous - love the pop of yellow it really brings out the colours in your Brusho piece.
Pretty colours and definitely too lovely to bin! Thanks for joining in with the current AAA Cards Challenge.
Beautiful CAS card and such lovely colours ! They remind me spring. Your brushos pops up so beautifully over this bright yellow heart ! And what a fabulous idea to score a frame, it is the perfect final touch ! Thanks so much for sharing and for playing along at Uniko.
Your patterned heart is gorgoeus, Pat! I love the colors and patterns! And it's perfect on the yellow scalloped heart! Love the scoring too! Thanks so much for sharing with us at CAS Watercolour!
Gorgeous card Pat - such pretty colours and how clever to use the paper towel. Much too lovely to throw away for sure. And clever to add the lines around the card just to add interest - I always forget that tip and it's always so effective too!

Great idea to use your mop up towel for your heart, Pat. A great way to up-cycle! The colours are so pretty. Love the bright yellow framing. The score lines add something special. xx
Oops ... thanks so much for sharing with us at CAS Watercolour! xx
I love the brusho mop up! I never think to use mine and I like this idea you have with tacking onto the stabilizing card stock. Love the marbled colors against this pop of bright yellow, and both hearts look so pretty against the cool white. Love the scoring details too. Oh yes, this is just beautiful & so creative CAS! TFS

Love this card, Pat, so fresh looking. The heart looks amazing and the scored lines are a perfect finishing touch. xx
This Brusho heart is so pretty framed with the yellow one! Hard to believe it's a paper towel! Love the look of the scored lines but never remember to do them myself!

Pat, I totally understand your passion for Brushos! These colours are amazingly bright and intense - like you show us with your CAS heart combination! The frame of scoring lines is simple but in the same moment eye-catching - great idea!
Thanks for sharing your card with us in the Uniko Challenge!
