Now on to today's project . . .

Valentine's Day may be over for the year, but that doesn't mean you must put away your "Valentine" stamps and dies! They can be great for weddings, anniversaries, or just an everyday "Wishing you a very happy day" card!

For this card, I used Memory Box's Wirework Hearts clear stamp set and coordinating Wirework Hearts die set, along with the Heart Rays die:

I simply gold heat embossed the beautiful large wirework heart onto 110 Lb. white cardstock, and die cut it. I prefer heavier cardstock when heat embossing, to help cut down on any possible warping of the cardstock. Then I popped the heart up with foam tape over a 5.25" x 4" white cardstock panel that had the Heart Rays die cut into it and sentiment also gold heat embossed. The background panel was placed onto a gold metallic card base -- I love how the base peeks through the tiny die cut hearts!

I really like the simple elegance of this monochromatic gold metallic color scheme, but you could easily change up the colors of the cardstock and/or heat embossing (or stamp in a colored ink), to greatly change the feel of this card! What colors would you use? Thanks so much for stopping by today!
