Cherished Heart Card
From the Designer: "This card shows off diecutting as the main technique to making a beautiful layered look as well as showing the beautiful Rinea foil with it's special ability to hold the shape of a bouquet in 3D form. The backdrop is a dry embossed paper with some additional details that are simple to add, creating a lovely wood look which still allows the focal point (bouquet) to shine. The flower centers are made from dimensional medium in a gold color to complement the foil."
