I punched the heart from white, then dry embossed it with a cuttlebug folder I had forgotten I had. I used the reverse, so the fleurs des lis would stay white, then lightly distressed heart with distress and gold metallic inks, a red heart offset helps it stand out. The sentiment was a leftover from when I was testing my new stamp earlier this week; I got the fancy cut on the ends by weaseling it into a corner punch. a little gold organza ribbon seemed to tie the whole thing together. None of it is bold enough to outshine the Tim Holtz paper, though.
