We are low on team members just now for various reasons so I've created two inspiration cards for this post.... I did cheat a bit though! Being short on time, I coloured the image with promarkers and coated it in Triple Thick to give a glossy finish - its my favourite thing just now!! And rather than adhere permanently to one card, I used a couple of tiny foam pads (Candi Fix from Craftwork Cards) and I was able to peel the image off and try it out on my second card! I'm sure I'll do another image for the other card when I have the time!
So my first card uses a white with silver foiling card blank from Kanban that I dug out my stash and covered with Fired Brick and Black Soot distress ink using a foam blending tool. I added black pearlescent paper behind the aperture and more Triple Thick to the blackened heart from the centre. I have finally gotten hold of the Martha Stewart Drippy Goo punch which forms the border along the top and I've hand written the sentiment.
