I used a Penny Black stamp called Sweet Hearts. I think it is just adorbale and great for spring. The image was colored with my copics and layered several times to make it pop. I also added lots of sparkle with my copic spica clear glitter pen (love this pen)...hopefully you can see the sparkle in the picture. In person it really shines! I also heat embossed the image with black embossing powder. This is my firs card using the heat embossing and it took a lot of trial and error! You definitely need to use something to take the static away from the paper or you will have stray embossing all over your image. I did not have any dryer sheets but found that dusting the paper I was embossing with baby powder worked great (and makes it smell nice).
I also finished the inside which reads Easter Blessings and then made a matching envelope to go along with it.

Precious and sparkly!! I have never seen this Penny Black image. I really like it. I can see it in red at Valentine's day.
