Here is a thank you card for my friend Nancy, done for today's Inspiration Challenge, IC117. The IC piece can be seen here- Forums at Splitcoaststampers It also works for Thursday's Ways to Use it Challenge, to make a card with a musical theme. I think the Ancient Heart looks like an ancient musical score.
I pulled the blue color and the hearts on the wall from the piece. The background is done with the Heated Pearls technique. Then I stamped the Ancient Heart onto paper vellum in Staz-On Ultramarine, and stamped it again onto an acetate Window Sheet. I cut out the vellum heart, alligned it to the back of the Window sheet image, and glued it on with a drop CE. I then attached it to the Bliss Blue panel underneath with brads, to which I glued hearts cut out of Polyshrink stamped in Brilliant Blue, and dabbed them with Stickles.
The sentiment you can see through the window reads, *You make my heart sing!* and the font has tiny hearts on some of the letters. It's so cute!
Finally I embossed the piece of HPH in white EP, and threaded 3 different blue and white fibers through it.
I'm tickled with how this came out- hope you like it too!
Thanks for looking!
Maddy

Loving that heated pearl background. So pretty! Looks like ice. Wonderful card as always Maddy. The fibers added just the right touch along with the corner hearts. TFS!
