I stamped the Hardwood background onto a cardstock panel then die cut the aperture. The sentiment was stamped and clear embossed below the window. To make the panel showing behind the window, I inked up a crackle embossing folder with Tea Die distress ink, lightly spritzed the folder with water, placed a cardstock panel inside and embossed it. After drying the panel I rubbed a Vintage Photo inkpad over the panel to add some deeper color. This panel was adhered to the card front to show behind the aperture. From specialty glitter paper I die cut the two leaves and then the heart. These were mounted in front of the aperture. Kia, thank you for hosting.

Looks so real - great techniques on the wood look. Just the right amount of glimmer too. Lovely Valentine. Hugz
