Embossed Hearts

So I'm watching the Craft TV Weekly with Michael Strong, and see that what he's doing I can do with my new Flourishes heart. So I set out to do that and change a few things. The first pictures is the decorator paper I used for the envelope. The folding piece is SU holiday paper. The center piece is basic grey paper. The hearts are pretty in pink from SU.

The second photo is the card I made to go into the envelope. The card is pixie pink with gold edges. The front of the card was put through the cuttlebug to give it a decorated look. The heart was pretty in pink embossed with gold. I cut out some of the areas of the heart so the designer paper could show through. I used the Love stamp and cut it out and mounted it to the heart. The gold around the edges is embossing powder.

This is the envelope folded shut. Half of the heart is glued to the envelope. The other half is left unattached so that it can be put under the heart next to it. It's an under, over pattern. I considered putting gold on the edges that make up the square but never got around to it.
These pretty in pink hearts were embossed with white. Then with a stipple brush in pomegranate, I colored the white ep.

This is the outside of the envelope. On the other side is another heart embossed with gold ep. I love the way this came out. I will try this again sometime in different colors.
This went together very easily and quickly. Have fun if you try this.
