For my card, I was inspired by the layout of the hearts from the inspiration. I made another card recently using this same technique. It is a fun technique and a great way to use up a bunch of small hearts that I punch out of my scrap paper.
I learned this technique more than 5 years ago. The technique used die cuts but I again used scrap punched hearts. I layered them gluing 5 high. Next, I used my score tool to score the lines on white cardstock. I then laid out the hearts on the card front.

Once the glue was dry, I used red acrylic paint for the first layer then I used watered down pink and ran it over the top of the hearts. Finally, while it was still damp, I used gold foil flakes.
The card was finished with The Ton die cut XOXO and the sentiment popped up on dimensionals.

Sounds like lots of work with all the little hearts Lisa, but how very effective and the gold leaf adds a nice dimension to the overall appearance. One for our new Allsorts theme I hope?
