This card took a matter of minutes to make. First I cut out the heart shape and applied a generous splodging of PVA glue (because it dries clear) to the edges, followed by a good sprinkling of accent beads.

I’ve used ivory card as the effect is much subtler than white, especially with gold, which I have used for the matting.

The heart has been set on a foam pad for added dimension.

The idea could be adapted for weddings and anniversaries and is very much an example of less is more.
