This is what I cut out for my card on the weekend with my For You Thin Cuts and I still had the negative space so needed to not loose the tiny bits so I stuck it down on a piece of scrap blue from my Blue scrap bag. I can't remember what this paper was from. The hearts are a green or peacock type colour and that is my +1 colour. 

I cut a 4x4 inch block and stuck my thank you in the middle and then cut a 6x12 sheet of white (folded in half to make a 6x6 card). So I placed in the centre and put a dot in each corner to see where the distress oxides needed to go. 

*Note: later I cut it smaller to see more of the sponging. 

I started sponging with Seedless Preserves Distress Oxides (I think it has now retired from CTMH availability) and did the outside with Villainous Potion Distress Oxide™ Ink Pad (I LOVE the name of this purple). 

I alternated with the sponging until it was well covered using my Mini Ink Blending Tool. 

I have a few of the blenders but accidentally put them back away and couldn't be bothered grabbing another so I kept alternating by pulling off the sponges... This left my fingers very inky like I was playing with mulberries!

After Sponging I sprayed some water on it and dabbed it off with a tissue so it wouldn't bleed too far. 

Below is what it dried like. It looks really red/purple in the photo but the last photo is more what the actual finished product looks like. 

To finish off the card I cut down the blue heart paper so you could see more of the central lighter purple colour. Then I raised it up using 3-D Foam Tape. 

Then I realised because I had cut the blue piece down you could see the little black dot in top left and bottom right corners so I needed to cover them a little. It might not have been too obvious but I noticed so had to cover it. Keeping with the hearts them and the purples I pulled out my new Purple Dots and popped them to cover the dots in small heart and medium heart. Then added a larger heart "dot" to make a full-stop. I did ummm and arrrrrr about which colour of the purple dots I was going to use. Went middle of the road.
