I named this card "The Cursed Heart" because if anything went wrong, IT WENT WRONG! This is the image that I had a fight with for the Limited Supplies Challenge which I never got done until now. I had to set it aside for a couple of days. When I saw the Featured Stamper Jaydekay's gallery tonight, I knew I had to case this card shown here. ssnotime37 simple butterfly by jaydekay at Splitcoaststampers. Thank you so much for making her as the FS. Here is my story.
I started out by stamping the heart with versamark ink onto vellum. I used black emboss powder and heat set. Colored with markers on the embossed side. Cut out! This is where I had a fight, because every which way I put it, it didn't look right with anything for the LSC. So, here it is in the FS. I mounted the image onto a scrap of dp (it really does have fainted hearts in it, hard to see) and sponged with black ink around the edges. Mounted on black. I added gold cording across the front and mounted it using 3D pop dots. It's a little bigger than what Jaydekay has, but I thought it worked well here. At first, I had regular rhinestones, but I changed them to hearts which I embossed gold. I had to make 2 separate pieces. Long story about the red background. I'll make it short. I ran out of my favorite red, and this is the only piece I had left with the sponged black on it. I hope it looks ok. Then I took another piece of scrap of the same red and used the decorative heart punch and added gold ribbon to hide the seam. Didn't I tell you that this is the heart image that wanted to win the fight? Well, I think I won, because I used it tonight, plus it's in 2 challenges. Thanks for the challenges. What do you think? Your comments are appreciated, please be honest! Thank you!
*I bought this stamp at a garage sale for 25 cents, otherwise I don't think I would of ever bought it myself.*
Things I changed for the FS: 5x7 card, heart brads, image, decorative corner punch
Thank you for looking!

Who would have guessed you had gone through all that and still ended with such an outstandingly beuatiful card. Everything about looks just perfect to me. I'd love to say I made it. It's just gorgeous.
