Wags 'n' Whiskers Guest Design Spot

I am really lucky to have been chosen to the Guest Designer for this week's Wags 'n' Whiskers challenge.
This week's challenge is called

"Pop it up" - add some dimension to your card!

Now I had an idea about this and after some playing around and a bit of research i came up with a heart pop-out card. The heart pops out when you open the card.

I stamped the image out and then watercoloured using my distress inks. I matted the image and design paper onto very dark gry/green cardstock. I added some glimmer misted and glamour dusted flowers and a bow. The sentiment is computer generated.

On the inside I used contrasting design paper and made the pop out heart. It is basically a heart with two smaller hearts attached and scored so the heart 'pops' out as you open it.
I embossed the smaller hearts using a freebie stamp and silver embossing powder, and used a Penny Balck Transparent sentiment for the larger heart.

Here is a view of the card standing up .. .you can see the heart 'popping' out.

For this challegne you can do anything that adds dimension .. mount your image on foam, add pop out bits ... the world is your oyster .. so to speak!!

And thank you Lacey and nikki for letting me guest mwah xx
