Here's what I created for this challenge:
( using a letter-press technique for the background)

Background: Fiskars Bamboo Embossing plate is first rubbed with Faber Castell Gold Metallic Gelto, and then run Kraft paper through the Big Shot. This is the letter - press technique part.

Heart: Cuttlebug Music Embossing folder used on heart cut from the Cricut Paisley cartridge, p. 60 and then edged in the metallic gelato.

 Sentiment printed on paper and then cut into a banner shape lifted up with Helmar's Liquid Scrapdots. Twine bow and charm added along with a small brad inserted through Maya Roads felt flower and all components adhered with Helmar 450.
