Elegant Heart Card

I saw this elegant layered card designed by Julie Gilson. Many layers, but totally worth it!! It combines the gorgeous Marbled Elegance DSP (OE) with Gold Foil cardstock, Gold embossing, and gold embellishments! Just stunning!

Measurements:

Cherry Cobbler: 1/2 sheet, cut LENGTHWISE
Basic White: 3 3/4" x 5" (front), 4" x 5 1/4" (inside), 3 1/4" square (stitched circle), scrap
Marbled Elegance DSP (N)(OE): 2 1/8" x 3 3/4" (front), 2 3/8" square (heart), 1/2" x 4"
Gold Foil: 3 1/2" square (decorative circle), scraps

To Make This Card:

Run smaller White layer through Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder.
Adhere to folded Cherry Cobbler card.
Add DSP piece to the bottom, as shown. Add a 4" piece of ribbon, or narrow piece of Gold Foil cardstock to delineate between the 2 layers.
Die cut large decorative circle from Spotlight on Nature dies from Gold Foil piece. set aside.
Emboss detailed heart from the Heart Shaped (SAB) dies in Gold Embossing Powder in center of 3 1/4" square.
Die cut with large stitched circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies, centering embossed image. Set aside.
Die cut "stitched heart" from DSP, as well as the next 2 sizes of hearts from the Hearts of Elegance Dies in Gold Foil.
Now, let's layer these all together!
I started by adhering the stitched White circle onto the Gold Decorative Foil Circle.
Next, add stitched DSP heart on top of embossing, then next Gold Foil heart, then lastly the smallest, stitched Gold Heart. I added this one with Dimensionals.
Next, add the completed circle to the front of card with Dimensionals.
For sentiment, stamp in Cherry Cobble ink. I cut mine out with a die from the Something Fancy Dies (AC). Mount to another die cut from Gold Foil. Add to front of card with Dimensionals.
For inside, attach larger, White layer with strip of DSP. Stamp sentiment in Cherry Cobbler Ink.
Finish front with small knot of Cherry Cobbler & Gold ribbon, and scattered Gilded Gems (ret).
