Wings (they look like a heart, don't they?) are heat embossed.
I cut out the wings then used a Versamark pad to stamp on them.
I then sprinkled Kaleidoscope transparent embossing powder from Stampendous all over them....
and used my heat gun to seal it in. I love how they turned out!
These flowers are from the $1.00 bin at Michaels. I think they are Recollections.
The rhinestone flower middles are from the $1.00 at Target. Both flowers and Rhinestones have glitter in them. (They came like that. I didn't add it.)
The "Love in Bloom" is from Cardz TV Stamps "Garden Greetings."
