Happy Valentines Day!
I've done several tiles and Zendalas with hearts lately so when the Diva challenged us to do another one, I really had to think about what I wanted to do. I hadn't done an actual card though so that's where I started. I wanted to add just a touch of color so I hit upon the idea of cutting a heart shape out of the card front and then tangling a heart on the interior or the card. I am pretty happy with the way the card turned out though so I don't know if that was necessary in the long run.
I had fun looking for tangles that would work with the heart theme. Helen Williams at 'a little lime' has some great tangles. When I was almost done and ready to put my background tangle in I came up with one more idea. I started doing Florz but then I added tiny hearts at the base in the diamonds.
I put this picture in so you can clearly see the cutout and tangling inside.
Very very very nice! Your little hearts-on-the-Florz is a great idea. And I love your Copada :) and the sort of round-y version of if on the left and bottom. And more little hearts in unexpected places. Lucky recipient of this card!
