Second Verse, Same as the First

As I got ready to post this card that is the same base as the one I posted earlier, this lyric (used as the title for the post) from "I'm Henry the VIII, I am" by Hermin's Hermits came into my head. Weird the types of things that pop into your head at times. It fits though, since it's the same card base, just different embellishments. This time I played around with my watercolor pencils to color the card background. I didn't like how that looked by itself, so I added chalk on top of the watercolor. I like it better with the chalk, I think the two together give it dimension it wouldn't have with just one or the other.

This one I did make just a square of paper for the inside of the embossed square. It is a 2 inch square, in case you've purchased this set of cards and need to know what size to use. I added some red eyelets and then used wine organza ribbon from Stampin' Up to "hang" the square in the middle of the card. The cardstock was a little heavy and kept pulling down the ribbon so it wasn't staying in the square on the card background, so I added 3D foam adhesive to keep it where I wanted it to be. I used the 3d adhesive to make it look like it's still floating over the card.

For the square in the middle, I stamped a heart background stamp (by Rubber Stampede) I have with the versamark watermark pad, which makes a watermark just slightly darker than the paper. I then used some of my Studio G $1 acrylic stamp sets to stamp the word "love" and the hearts in a Merlot color of inkpad.
