To make my card I cut out a heart (I don't have heart Nestabilties, so I free handed this one), then sponged some Pretty In Pink (SU) ink.

Sponged some Regal Rose (SU) ink.

Then I ran the heart through my Cuttlebug with my Swiss Dots CB folder, and sponged over the dots, very lightly, with Regal Rose ink.

Here is a photo of all the Copic colors I used on the envelopes. I used of the same color, in different shades, per envelope. You can click on the photo to see it larger, if it is a little hard to read those numbers.

I cut a piece of Pure Luxury Ivory using my Labels 1 Nestabilities, then sponged Creamy Caramel while still in the die.

I layred the heart with a piece of Cranberry Tart cardstock, stamped the sentiment from Tech Talk on the labels1 layer and then layered the whole card with Pretty in Pink (SU), Tan Leather (Pure Luxury) and used an Ivory (PL) cardbase. Added a bow and sateen flower, embellished with some Cranberry Tart branches cut with a Martha Stewart punch.

Thank you for stopping by. Have a great day!
