For my card I watercolored a bold and bright background using my Kuretake watercolors. I stamped the heart from Love Everlasting stamp set in versamark using the MISTI and white embossed. Next, I used the Everlasting Heart die set to die cut the heart image from the watercolored background panel.
I used foam tape to pop up the heart image. I stamped the sentiment from Beautiful Things stamp set in black licorice hybrid ink. I finished my card with a few of Verve's Shine Bright Sequin Mix.
