This card was inspired by the stacked hearts from my inspiration photo, so the design began with a collection of punched hearts made from paper scraps. Five hearts were glued together to form each dimensional piece. Once the hearts were assembled, score lines were added to a white cardstock panel to create subtle texture, and the stacked hearts were adhered in place.
After the hearts were secured, the entire panel was painted with red acrylic paint, followed by a soft white acrylic wash. While the paint was still wet, gold leaf flakes were pressed into the surface so they would dry into the background and add a touch of shimmer.
The card was completed with an XOXO die cut and a Happy Valentine’s Day sentiment popped up on dimensionals for added depth.
