Hi! I actually made this card last weekend for a couple of challenges and completely forgot to post it! Luckily three of the four challenges I made it for are still open! So I'm going to link this up the The Flower Challenge who are looking for a heart with the usual flowers, Happy Little Stampers' Stencil challenge and Seize the Birthday's Spring challenge.
For my card, I firstly stenciled the background with a heart stencil and glitz glitter gel. While that was drying, I gold embossed then stenciled the floral bouquet. I went with pastel colours as that was the challenge at the time (since closed), but I like the soft look of these colours together.
When I put the two elements together, it looked a bit bare, so I added a thin black frame to draw the eye in. I finished with a gold-embossed sentiment.
Thanks for visiting.

Gorgeous card and I love the heart in the background. So pretty and the flowers are beautiful. Thanks for playing along with us at The Flower Challenge.
All that sparkles is not gold - but OH do I love the gold embossing with all that sparkles on that clever way you've added your heart to this card!
So beautiful, Karren!
