I stamped the image using Versafine Ink in Deep Lagoon and as it is a silhouette and quite a large stamp I used my Misti so that I could ink it several times. I noticed that inking it more heavily the bit of script across the bodies of the dancers got filled in rather which is shame but I did want a good heavy coverage. I then heat embossed it with WOW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder.
I then decided to make a heart pattern in the background which I did with a heart stencil made from a piece of acetate using a heart die, and which I have kept and used many times. I inked blended with Twisted Citron and Cracked Pistachio Distress Inks using the Cracked Pistachio around the edges. I did four to form a sort of flower in the background.
I finished with the sentiment stamped and embossed with the Deep Lagoon Ink and then Clear Gloss EP, and I used the Clear Gloss on the clock faces too using the Versamark Pen.
Thank you for visiting me here today and I hope to see you again soon.

Perfect this couple for an anniversary! Love the background with the four hearts, such a clever idea! Love this card!
What a perfect stamp and card.... with the passion of the Tango and the romance of an Anniversary x. The blended hearts look so pretty and I like how you used four to make a beautiful flower and background. Thanks for the information about the script being filled in as you continued to stamp Pat x. Glorious Anniversary card and the colour combination looks stunning too x.
What a fabulous card Pat, I love how you've made the background with the hearts, turning them into a flower, the script and the dancers images are brilliant, super colours and an altogether perfect anniversary card, Kate x
