I'm so happy this is an All About Occasions challenge! Perfect for the Valentine's Day card I've created using one of the adorable House Mouse images created by Ellen Jareckie in 2019. I decided to stamp the image and then cut it out with one of my heart dies. Don't they look adorable?
This is an oversized card, measuring 6 1/2" by 5". The size allowed me to frame the heart with a matte of Melon Mambo and then mount it on the lovely printed vellum background. The matte of Mossy Meadow cardstock compliments the grasses in the image as well as helps the white printed leaves to show up nicely on the vellum.
Because I wanted the card to be really special, I dipped the edge of the watercoloured heart into silver embossing powder and heat embossed the perimeter. I did the same thing with the printed vellum. In real life that silver simply shines and looks wonderful, especially against the Melon Mambo and the Mossy Meadow. The sentiment is simple: we just fit. I love it and hope you do, too.
I've also entered my card at the following challenges:
