Here's the card I had given up on..but I kind of revamped it and came up with this. The border is the coloring book part...I stamped a heart stamp (the stamp has 3 hearts across) in 3 rows, alternating the direction on the second row so the design fit together. Then I cut around it to make a 3 tiered border. I used Distress inks to color the heart and hands applying them with a Q-tip. The bg is another gelli print...I used some new stuff call Izink in silver to add the metallic glint to it..I really like how that looks. TFL!

You are on a Valentine roll! That border you made with the heart stamp - very clever. What a great stamp!
I missed the part about having given up on this, so all I see is a fabulous vintage card. Really beautiful, Polly!

Wow, Polly! This is a mixed media masterpiece! I love your thought process in designing this- so incredibly creative. I would have never thought to use the heart stamp in that way. You colored he beautifully too!
