The base card is a DL size, and is embossed with straight lines.
I cut out two hearts from thick card, which works as well as chipboard for this.I inked each one using clear embossing ink and White Pearls embossing powder from Stamp'n'Stuff for the first layer. Then I added two more layers of clear UTEE. I used a swirl stamp-Scroll Pattern,2636K- from Penny Black, inked with Silver Pigment ink, to stamp into the last layer while it was still wet.
The same stamp & ink was used to stamp onto a scrap of white pearl paper, and this was heat embossed too. I trimmed it down to a square with a deckle edge blade, then cut a slightly larger square of silver card to mat it onto. I mounted this to the top of the card and the hearts were added on top with silicone glue. A strip of the white pearl paper was punched with a Fiskars Hearts border punch for the bottom, and stamped the Congratulations phrase,which is a Whispers Words stamp from Do-crafts, in silver & heat embossed. I added the dots before the word with an Embossing pen, and heat embossed them in silver too. Finally tied a length of silver eyelash wool around the spine. This design could be easily adapted for Weddings, anniversaries etc. I think I may do a few more in different colour combos, as they are quite quick & easy to do- the longest bit is the triple embossing!

Hi there Shaz, very weird perhaps but have yet to do this triple embossing thanks for sharing love the C&S look, love Shaz in oz.x
You always have such clean, elegant cards! My UTEE layers never come out like yours. Some day I should just practice! LOL!
That is a pretty card, Shaz, but not as lovely as the one you did for me. Thank you so much, I can only imagine the amount of work that went into that. Also grateful thanks to Doug for sorting out my blog picture problems. So far, all is going well, I can see all my pictures and everyone else's.
So pretty and elegant Shaz!
