Directions:
This card features the Spotlight Technique. This is a fun technique
which can be applied to any form of paper arts and altered 3D creations.
Have a look at my Spotlight Dominoes with more in-depth information about
the Spotlight Technique in The Stamper's Mall November 2004 newsletter:

Stamp a portion of the Hare onto a wooden heart with Stazon black ink.
Either leave the ink to set for a few hours or heat set with a heat tool.
Colour in the image with Prismacolor pencils. Edge the heart with a gold
metallic paint pen. Put the heart aside.
Ink up the 'Tea Party' rubber stamp with Stazon black ink and stamp onto a
jumbo playing card. Leave the image to set by itself for a few hours or
heat set with a heat too. But be careful with how long you heat the
playing card otherwise the plastic coating on the card might melt or
bubble. Touch up the stamped image with a black Sharpie if needed.
Tear up a second jumbo playing card into two pieces, a large section and a
small strip. Edge all the playing card sections with a gold metallic paint
pen.
Add thin gold border stickers to a black folded card. Using double-sided
sticky tape adhere the large portion of the torn playing card to the black
card. Then adhere the stamped playing card and the small strip.
Punch holes in two corners of the stamped playing card and add an alphabet
"M" brad for March and a "h" brad for hare. Then punch evenly spaced holes
in the small torn strip and attach the card suite eyelets.
Finish off the card by adhering the spotlight heart to the playing card
with glue dots. Line up the hare image on the heart with the hare image on
the playing card.
