Flowers & Hearts Slimline Card

Hello my crafty friends! I had fun creating this Slimline card and used a heart background die from Whimsy Stamps. This is a die that I've had for ALMOST 6 months, so I'm still counting it as new. I have a thing for heart dies, ha ha - and use them for lots of other occasions besides Valentine's Day. After cutting the heart background from red card stock, I backed it with a cut-to-size transparency. This is something I do a lot as I love the shine it gives behind the openings. You can see that better in the photo below. 

The cute floral wreath is from a package of embellishments from Doodlebug, and I decided to make a shaker card with it. After backing the opening with acetate, I fussy cut pink card stock large enough to cover the opening with some extra room, added foam tape to the back side of the floral wreath/acetate piece then added some flat sequins from Kat Scrappiness. Then I added the pink piece over the foam tape to hold everything in place and my shaker element was ready to add to my card front.

Finally, I added the Love dies from Karen Burniston's new Sending Love set. The flower centres got some extra sparkle with the Pops of Color from Scrapbook .com. Those were a free with purchase in December and I'm really liking them!

Here is a peek at the inside. I didn't add a sentiment, so I can use it for Valentine's Day or an Anniversary, or add a friendship verse and send it for Happy Mail in February! The hearts I added inside are from the fallaway pieces from the Slimline Heart background die. Of course I saved them all to use on other projects, and I think I might have added a couple of the smaller ones into the shaker too.
