I pulled out some leftover plastic packaging and trimmed it down 51/2 X 4 1/4, I die cut the heart out of some card stock from my stash of backgrounds waiting to be used. This one I made a few weeks ago when my crafting buddies and I were working with acrylic paint. I took some coated card and smooshed up what was left on the craft mat. You can get some amazing background with what's sitting on your craft mat, don't waste it 😏. I then die cut the heart out of my card base and inlaid the die cut inside. The acetate holds every thing in place For some interest I had the heart spill off the edge of the card and trimmed the excess.
I'm entering this CAS Mix up April Challenge inlaid die. My choice is acrylic paints.
I hope you like the card and would love to hear your comments.

I LOVE this Christine! Your acrylic paint smoosh made a pretty inlaid heart! Love the acetate behind it! Thanks so much for sharing this with us at CAS Mix Up!
Beautiful smooshed card used for your intricate die-cut heart. Looks amazing inlaid into the partial heart aperture. The acetate in-behind gives it shine. So pretty!! Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up! xx
Lovely smooshed heart, Christine! Great use of the acetate to hold it in place. Thanks for joining us at CAS Mix Up!
A fabulous card Christine, I love what you've done with the heart. I have two boxes with pieces of acetate from packaging waiting to be used.
