Second entry for this week's challenge over at http://simplylessismoore.blogspot.com/.
I thought this might be an easier task as we were given a sketch to follow but how wrong can you be? It took me ages to think of something different from my first card and then even longer to plan/print it in Publisher. The word Love is printed directly on to the ivory pearl card (the same size card as before ~70mm x 185mm) and then heat embossed in gold. I missed out the letter 'O' and put black/cream heart pattern ribbon between two embossed lines. (I found this helps with getting the ribbon on straight) Then I punched out a 'funky' heart in gold, mounted it on foam pads to give just a little height and placed it where the 'O' should be. Think this might make a good anniversary card (or just to tell someone you love them!)

I think that's really clever heat embossing a computer/printed sentiment... I haven't a clue how you would do that!
This looks fabulous!
Super job!

Thanks, Chrissie. I found (by accident!) that when you print on to pearl card, if you put embossing powder on straight away it works!(I only use an ancient inkjet printer too!)
Oh lovely! And great take on the sketch.
Hugs, Sandra
