Salvaged Heart

Salvaged Heart

🎨✨ Fun artistic technique! ✨🎨
I tried something new with this card design using the @teamspellbinders Stamp & Die of the Month and Embossing Folder of the Month—and I love the results! 💛

For the colorful background, I scribbled Tim Holtz Watercolor Pencils directly onto the embossing folder, spritzed some watercolor paper with water, and ran it through my die-cutting machine. The result? A artistically blended, textured design with an organic watercolor effect! 🎨🌸

I kept the rest of the card simple to let the background shine—just a dimensional heart, a little twine, and a crisp sentiment to finish it off. Sometimes, trying a new technique leads to the best surprises!
