I started with a piece of white card just a little smaller than the 6" square card and I roughly found the middle and started down one of the sides by about 1/2" using Versamark ink. I stamped the flourish and then from the other direction did the same thing so the long straight edge of the flourish joined up in the middle. I then heat embossed using WOW Metallic Silver Embossing Powder. I decided where to cut the heart..a little above the centre using one of my Torn Edge Hearts.
Moving on I decided to use Brushos to colour the slightly smaller heart with, i.e.Violet and Ultramarine and spritzed to get them moving. I then decided to add some mica powders whilst wet so that they would set, and I chose a silver and a pinky lilac and using the tip of a piercing tool I put some of each on and moved them around and then dried the heart on the low speed of my heat tool. Wow, some great sparkle and I wiped it over with some kitchen towel to remove any that was likely to come off which wasn't much.
At first I had thought that I would add the coloured heart into the torn heart aperture but thought on reflection that I would place the heart back into the aperture to show off more of the flourish and then I added the sparkly heart over the top, and finished with a stamped and heat embossed sentiment using the same Silver EP.
