WOW embossing powder January Colour Challenge

I'd like to enter the following valentines card into the wow embossing powder january challenge

The card is on A4 cardstock.  On the black layer I roughed up the edges and embossed them with clear embossing powder before layering overa piece of black and cream cardstock.  I cut a piece of coredinations about two inches narrower than the card and cut out the hearts with a sizzix cut and emboss die, I then embossed the hearts.  I embossed all over the card with an embossing folder, then cut the left hand edge with spellbinders edgeabilities saving the strip which is down the very LH side of the card.  I wiped a versamark pad over the raised areas of the red embossed card and hearts and used clear embossing powder on those areas.  I added a ruffled ribbon and some spellbinders leaves and a flower over a double bow.  My husband says it looks like a card for someone who died from a heart attack, I hope you don't agree with him!

  2. I'm very impressed! I've never quite managed to keep my Versamark on my raised bits when trying to heat emboss my dry embossing... A stunning card, and though I see where your hubbie is coming from, I don't agree at all!
