With this card I was just messing around with embossing powders. This card has a really art deco kind of feel doesn't it?

I used Concord & 9th Love Layers die again, cutting it twice. Before cutting it on the white I covered the paper with Versamark ink and clear embossing powder. This gives it a pretty shine, you can't really get from the pictures.
I also used Stick It adhesive to make it easy to piece the heart together. After die-cutting the Lawn Fawn Scripty Mine, I embossed it twice in gold, giving it a metal look. In the end I also added Glossy Accents to it as well.
To get the gold edges, I took the Versamark pad and rubbed it all over. After I dip it in the embossing powder, I was able to take a brush and wipe off any spots I did't like or where there was too much. I really wanted it to keep the messy look though for contrast to the black and white lines.
I used sequins to create a streak across the card, just for fun. I decided I needed something more and added the 'I love you' sentiment as well.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

This is such a stunning card! I love this clever use of embossing powders and the color palette is power-packed. I think it's so clever of you to take the iconic theme of love and give it such a fresh spin. The bold lines on the heart pair so well with the other elements. This is a remarkable card and I'm so glad you shared your talents with us for this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!
