The gold center and highlights were also Twinkling H2Os. Added a black strip of Washi tape to the bottom of the atc.

Love ATC

The theme for the 9ATC Group is Love. I started by gathering prevously made decorative papers, The ones that had not yet had raised metallic elements, I ran through decorative embossing folders, then covered the raised areas with metallic inks. Tore the 7 different colored papers into 1/2" strips and layered them on a blank atc card.
Inked the edges of the card with gold metallic ink. Drew a heart shape on another sheet of previously made background paper, cut out the heart and adhered it to the card. Added 3 gold dots from a gold pearl pen onto the upper left of the heart. Used an alphabet die cut to cut out the letters to spell L O V E from gold metallic paper and adhered them to the atc below the heart.
