ALWAYS stampin'

I haven't put this set away since the day it arrived! I just love this heart - so beautiful with a bunch of techniques. I'm in a Convention-Quality Swap ... I'm a little intimidated by the other swappers, but this is my submission. What do you think? ********************************************************************************
STAMP SET: ALWAYS, CANVAS & FLORAL BGs
CARDSTOCK: WHISPER WHITE, ROSE RED, BASIC BLACKINK: ROSE RED CLASSIC & VERSAMARK (FOR THE EMBOSSING)
ACCESSORIES: SHERBERT RIBBON ORIGINALS, PRETTIES KIT, FELT FLOWERS, WHITE MULBERRY PAPER, EYELETS, PAPER PIERCING TOOL & TEMPLATE, WHITE GETL PEN, EMBOSSING POWDERS (WHITE, CLEAR IRRIDESCENT ICE)
COMMENTS: FOR THE HEART, I STAMPED THE IMAGE IN VERSAMARK AND EMBOSSED WITH WHITE EP. THEN, I COVERED THE WHOLE HEART IN VERSAMARK AGAIN AND EMBOSSED WITH IRRIDESCENT ICE EP, THEN CUT OUT. I USED A BLENDER PEN TO TRACE AROUND THE HEART ON MULBERRY PAPER. THE BLENDER PEN WETS THE APAPER AND ALLOWED ME TO TEAR IT OUT IN A SHAPE. THE BLACK PANEL IS CANVAS BG STAMPED IN VERSAMARK AND EMBOSSED WITH CLEAR EP.
