AAA Cards #58 - Love Me Like You Do

It's time for another challenge at AAA Cards - and this week, we are seasonally appropriate with a "Love Me Like You Do" theme.





In addition to a great theme, we also have a wonderful sponsor for this challenge - Happy Little Stampers has very generously agreed to give the winner a $20 gift certificate!!!!!

I used the opportunity to create an engagement card for some friends who just got engaged over the holidays - here it is:





I started out by repeatedly stamping the heart from Simon Says Stamp's "I See You" set in Versafine Onyx and heat embossing with clear powder. I used Tim Holtz watercolour paper because I wanted to give my new Brushos a try. I painted the hearts one at a time with clear water and sprinkled on some Brushos, using my heat tool to set the paint before moving on to the next heart. To finish the card, I added some strips of black cardstock on each side of the panel and mounted it to a card base that had silver glitter tape applied on one side. I finished off with a greeting from Simon Says "Congratulations" stamp set white embossed on a strip of black card stock.

I'm so happy with the end result - I will definitely be playing with Brushos some more. I will link this card up to a couple of challenges:
So now it's your turn to join in the fun and make a "Love"-ly card!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
