I have some glitter washi tape which I bought quite a while back at The Range and decided to cut the heart word die with this using the dark grey/black colour, so I stuck it to a piece of card and cut the words out and added them to the heart die cut. I had been having a play with a technique I have used a couple of times before using embossing powders enclosed within a piece of baking parchment and heated up and then using a pouncing motion keeping the heat tool moving over the top of the parchment you get the most lovely swirly pattern. I used some glitter EPs in red, silver and white and it was quite thin so I put one of the heart dies over the top and followed the shape cutting with some scissors. Little bits do fall off but it has a fairly good heart shape. I finished by adding some silver Pebeo wax over the surface texture of the background dry embossing before adding it to a white square card, and then I added the word heart and the heat embossed heart over the top. I decided not to add any more words on the front as I think that the heart words say it all.
If you would like more information on the embossed pouncing technique, you will find a video by Marian Emberson here. Thank you for visiting my blog today and I'll see you again soon.

Beautiful card, I have that EF and haven't pulled it out in eons, and I totally forgot about melting different coloured EPs :)
Love that technique you used - the coloured heart turned out beautifully! So I must try it. Also love the texture of the background and the way you layered the hearts.
Congratulations Pat and a very elegant card for hubby, many thanks for sharing wit with us at Allsorts challenge.
