I cut the heart first and decided on the colour combination of the pink with the silver for the filigree design which can be cut into the card, and with the outside die which I used here to cut it out and also cut a plain pink heart using the outer die alone and glued it behind the silver one. I moved on to the pocket which again can be cut into the card but I did want to use it as a pocket so cut the outer piece with the flaps which give it that bit of space when stuck down. I then used some darker pink card and a light grey to add the flower layer, and there are some little bell type flowers on the heart which you can add but I decided not to use these. I cut the insert piece which you can layer up but I left it without that as I had the idea of adding a photo onto it as a surprise using a photo of them and us taken at hubby's recent birthday celebration which I thought would be fun. I will probably just put a note in the card to tell them to pull on the heart...hopefully it won't fall apart..lol. The front piece of the heart attaches to the photo insert layer and is easier done after you have inserted it into the pocket, and then I added a silver heart to the back to give it more strength. I finished it with a grey embossed sentiment.

So very pretty, Pat. Love this combination of silver and pink ... so elegant! What a lovely surprise to add a photo. xx
the pink and silver work perfectly for your card, that's such a beautiful detailed die xx
Such a detailed and intricate looking design Pat, it's so pretty. Love the simpler heart card with the stencil you made previously too, Cathy x
Beautiful card Pat, I love how the photo will be revealed when the heart is pulled up.

A lovely Anniversary card using this intricate die set. Great idea to add a surprise photo in the pocket and interesting to read how you achieved this. I'm sure your friends will love it.
A wonderful card, very romantic this filigree Pocket Full of Love, also because of the pink and silver. Very suitable for an occasion like this one and I'm sure they will be delighted! A "how to" note is a good idea, I think :)
Have a lovely weekend, Pat!
