The Card Concept #48

Hello!

Hope your all having a lovely week so far.
A new challenge starts today over at The Card Concept, inspired by the pretty picture below.

I love the ombre look of the hearts in the photo so I wanted to try and carry that into my card.





I started with a panel of watercolor paper and stamped some little hearts from the Written in Watercolor stamp set from MFT with versamark and heat embossed white embossing powder.
I then used different colors of red and pink ink to water color with to create my ombre look. 
Once dry I adhered my panel on a white card base. The love sentiment I cut from Cricut using the Home Accents cartridge, and covered in wink of stella, ( I can never capture this in photos well) and popped up on some foam tape.
The little sentiment underneath is from the Love You Tons stamp set from Clearly Besotted. 
I added some twine and some sparkling clear sequins from Pretty Pink Posh to finish my card off.

Hope you enjoyed and hope you'll play along with us over at The Card Concept!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!!
