Today & Forever

Happy Valentines Day! Although today's card isn't a Valentines card, it does have hearts so I thought it would work nicely for today's post. I chuckle every time I look at this card because it started out as just something I used to make part of the card that is shown at the very bottom of the post. I was using this piece of card to get the fall away pieces for my shaker card! I just thought it was too pretty once it was all cut and decided to make another card out of it! I cut the Heart of Hearts die four times without the outer cutting edges. I stamped my sentiment on the top and bottom portion of the card in black Archival ink. The top part of the sentiment is actually only part of that particular sentiment too, I trimmed off the "Best Wishes" part and just used the Today and forever portion. I added mounting foam to the back of this piece to raise it for dimension. On another piece of card, I added sticky adhesive sheet bits behind where the hearts were cut out. I coated them with Fire Red Polished Silk Glitter for maximum bling. I centred the top cut out piece over the glittered background, then added my final pierced mat, a red mat and another white mat to complete the card. The finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x 8 1/4" in size. You can see the original card that I made using the cut outs at the bottom of the post too if you are interested.
