You Give Me the Feels

Here's my clean and simple card for the current My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Challenge.  This one came together quickly with MFT's Pierced STAX dies.  I cut a pierced heart from red cardstock and a pierced rectangle from silver cardstock.  After adhering the heart to the silver rectangle, I arranged the pieces on a red cardstock panel the same color as the heart. The "you give me the feels" sentiment from the Essential Sentiments set was stamped in white pigment ink on a narrow gray strip rescued from my scrap pile--it was just the right width for the text!  So that the words would pop, I heat embossed them in white, then used foam tape to adhere the strip over the heart.  The finished panel was adhered to a gray card base to match the sentiment strip.

Materials Used:
Essential Sentiments stamp set, Steel Grey cardstock, Pierced Rectangle STAX and Pierced Heart STAX dies (My Favorite Things); Memento Luxe Wedding Dress ink (Tsukineko/IMAGINE Crafts); Silver and Red Punch cardstock, Snow embossing powder (Recollections); foam tape
