If you had the time/materials/inclination it is also possible to emboss the amore stamp and or the border around it. When embossing you apply embossing powder to the stamp while it is still wet so that it will stick, then you heat it with an embossing gun (imagine a very very hot hair dryer). The heating causes the powder to melt and produces a raised texture everywhere the powder adhered. All of the supplies for this can be found at most craft stores near the other stamping materials.

Absolutely! I love heat embossing and this card would look great using that technique. But I had to keep this design simple and easy because we needed to make a quantity of them for the wedding, and my non-crafty friends wanted to help. I am going to be making the wedding invitations for my other sister-in-law later this year and am planning on using heat embossing to embed a stamped image on those. So stay tuned! I will probably post those invitations as an instructable as well!
