I used a big heart-shaped balloon (Avery Elle) , stamped in red ink. Then I masked off the background and stamped it with a big old Judkins harlequin stamp , using the same ink. Then I masked off the heart balloon and stencilled the background using a Tim Holtz stencil. I used a harlequin pattern embossing folder on the card base and designed and cut the sentiment on the Silhouette, colouring it with the same ink I used for the stencilling. Finally I added sequins.
