Today I'm sharing one of my favorite Valentines I've made. This unbranded die is quite intricate and took some serious time to add the negatives back into the heart after die-cutting, but the end result was so worth it! The smaller red heart is a part of the die, and I added a smaller white heart on top, along with a clear heart-shaped gemstone in the center. The 2 sentiments are from Taylored Expressions and were heat-embossed with white ep on black for a little contrast. I added a red heart-shaped gemstone to the upper sentiment and placed this all on an embossed panel done with a SU! falling petals ef and finally placed it on a red card base.
No challenges for me today - just sharing a card I had fun creating. Thanks for stopping by and make it a great weekend!

It's a beauty!!!! What a wonderful and pretty heart die. You must have a ton of patience putting all the little pieces back in but yes, it was worth it. Just beautiful! Love the embossing in the background too.

Wow Carol, such accurate work on this amazing heart!! How many patience you have had putting any tiny piece on its place!! But the result is awesome!!! Lovely details, too, the cute little heart gems look so precious, the black sentiment and the embossing compliment so well the whole design! Very well done!! :)
I can understand why you love it, its so striking and well worth the time paper piecing because it gives it a lovely finish, almost a quilted look x

Love all this red and white! That heart is exquisite - and against the embossed hearts - very sweet!
Lovely card...Your time was worth it. (You must be good at doing puzzles too! Smile...
It's beautiful - great texture, classic colour combo - and that intricate die cut must have been a challenge.
