Happy Valentine's Day!

I watched a video the other day about this kind of technique and really loved it. This made me wonder if I could make one with my Stampin'Up! products. The only thing I was kind of concerned about was the size of the heart cut out. But I accomplished it with a template and little fuzzy cutting. 

For the circle you have to cut different size strips in the color combination you prefer and adhere them onto a clear plastic sheet. Then cut out the shape you would like to have, I chose to cut a circle. Now for the the tricky part, since I didn't have a slightly bigger heart than the one pictured. I used the outline of the heart and traced it onto the circle and then fuzzy cut it out. I raised the circle by using dimensional's and inserted the decorative heart right in the middle. Below is a better picture to show you how it looks. 

The background paper was created with the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder which I inked up in Blushing Bride to give it a little bit more depth. 

Thanks for letting me share my creativity with you!
