FOIL EMBOSSED HEART
This is a piece of thick cardboard with a thick die-cut heart . stuck on top. The whole thing is then wrapped in aluminium cooking foil, working gently around the heart so that the shape stands out clearly. You could tape or glue it at the back of the card but if you fold it carefully it will generally stay in place long enough to secure it to your eventual background. Next paint over the whole thing with acrylic paint, and while it is still wet, wipe the heart so that some of the original aluminium foil can be seen. You can try it with different coloured paints and different coloured foils (some supermarkets sell these now), and of course the shape doesn't have to be a heart. The panel can be used "as is" or further decorated, before being used as a card, in a scrapbook or as an ATC.
