Textured Heart for The Card Concept

Texture was the name of the game for The Card Concept . . . use texture on your card. I pulled out a lot of different texture ideas, including metal and embossing paste, and I ended with dry embossed cardstock, heat embossing and lots of layering which provides it's own texture.

Here is my Clean and Layered design . . .

The inspirational photo for the challenge is noted below.  I drew most of my inspiration from the white trim on the house, which is especially drawn out in the white wood grain panel on my card. 

 

For additional texture, I die cut a heart window from the white wood grain and the diagonal stripe paper.  I stamped and embossed the hearts on the red card base, and then from a thin strip of pattern paper, I die cut strips to lay across the heart to add texture.
