For my field of Heart Flowers, I stamped the grass across the front of a vanilla panel. The various hearts were stamped, cut out and popped up on top of the blades of grass. I added a little color to some areas of the hearts using a combination of Tombow markers and Prismacolor pencils. I already had this dp from Cosmo Cricket picked out and it turned out to be a really tough color of red to match. The only way I could come close was using both the markers and pencils. I added some little crystals on top of the hearts. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25.
And here’s the page from my notebook. Can’t tell you how many different red inks I tried before deciding the lipstick red chalk ink came the closest.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Please stop by and check out the details on all of the DT’s cards.

Wow! I love seeing the way you work, Julie! This card was definitely worth the effort. I really like the dimensional flowers…and bravo on matching the reds!
Reds can be hard to match! Love seeing your notebook with the swatches… I’m gonna start doing something similar with an app on my ipad. You garden of hearts is adorable and totally cute!
