Posted on by Shar F

An extremely colorful and eye catching card. Whimsical with a heartfelt sentiment that any friend will be happy to receive. A combination of several mediums, held together with minimal color. Modeling paste absorbs the color underneath, helping it blend into the background, yet still give dimension. A bright white embossed sentiment set on black card makes it pop out at you. A layered 3d heart stamped to give it the impressions of texture is a focal point on this card. Finished with pink woven ribbon and bright pink sequins.
