For my card, I used a really great technique that I learned more than 5 years ago. The technique uses die cuts but for my card, I used punched hearts. I layered them 5 high gluing each layer. Next, I used my score tool to score lines on white card stock. I then laid out the hearts on the card front.
Once the glue was dry, I used a royal blue acrylic paint for the first layer. I then used watered down white and ran that over the top of the hearts. Finally, once that layer was dry, I spritzed some tea stain that has a shimmer to it. You can't see the shimmer in this photo, but it is there on the card.

The card was finished with the sentiment popped up on dimensionals.
