My Whole Heart

My card today is for the following challenges:

The Male Room:  Challenge #03 - Valentine (male card; valentine-themed)
Shopping Our Stash #187:  Gettin' Inky (used oldest ink pad - Stazon Jet Black)
The Mixed Media Challenge #8: Love Theme


I created an ombre background with Koi watercolors and Perfect Pearls and layered on Kraft cardstock.  The diecut heart is made of strips of washi tape on cardstock, popped over another washi tape strip.  The MFT sentiment was stamped with Stazon Jet Black ink and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder.  I added silver metallic décor (Hero Arts) on the heart for some "male bling."  The SOS challenge was to use the oldest ink we had.  This was the first ink pad I had ever bought when I started my cardmaking adventures.  The heat embossing helped it show up a little better since the pad was pretty dry!  I also finished the inside with a liner and coordinating hearts and washi tape.

 
Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you have a fantastic weekend!
