Happy Anniversary

I made this card for a friend's wedding anniversary using a preloved heart die I bought last year but have never used.

To make this card I used:
     6"  x 6" white hammer card blank
     My Favorite Things 'Peek a Boo Striped Heart' die
     Clearly Besotted 'Mini Calligraphy' stamps
     Versafine Crimson Red ink
     Cosmic Shimmer Clear Detail Embossing powder
     Woodware Corner Rounder punch
     Snippets of white hammer and dark red pearlescent card

I trimmed the snippet of white hammer card so it was slightly smaller than the card blank and rounded the corners before die cutting the heart from the centre.  I placed the panel into my MISTI so I could ensure the sentiment stamp was in the right place.  I stamped the sentiment with red ink, stamping a couple of times to get a good depth of colour, before embossing it with clear embossing powder.  The panel was then attached to the front of the card blank.  I die cut the heart from a snippet of dark red pearlescent card and then inlaid the strips into the heart.

I am entering the following challenges:
     Alphabet Challenge - XOXOX
     Love to Craft - Anything Goes
     NBUS - Challenge 48 (I used my new heart die)
     Snippets Playground - Challenge 448
