Greetings friends. Today is the last day of the new release blog hop. I hope you have enjoyed it. For today's card, I used stamps from a clear set called Country Floral. It is a nice set that has hearts, flowers, and leaves.
For the background, I used a technique I like with the Cover A Card Backgrounds. I started with a brown polka dot scrap of paper and then stamped the Wood Grain Cover a Card background on top with brown ink and embossed it with clear embossing powder. Here is a closeup of the background:
What I like about this technique is that you get an interesting look of mixed patterns and it is a fantastic way to use up your patterned paper scraps.
For the heart section, I stamped the leaves with Impression Obsession Mint ink and the Outline heart with Impression Obsession Black ink. To add a bit more interest, I stamped the flower with the heart center on top of the heart using the same black ink. I then embossed the flower with clear powder to give it a bit of interest. To color the heart, I used Zig Clean Color Brush Markers, cut out the heart, and popped it up with foam tape. Here is a close up:
Items used in the card:
