I have lots of things going on with this card. First I find it difficult to create a card for a female friend for Valentines Day, that is not mooshie gooshie. Here is my attempt at that. Next, I used an old stamp from my stash, called Floral Design by Embossing Arts Co. The third idea going on, is a technique that I never think of using. My friend Linda, from Payne Holler Cards, is the person that I always catch stamping right onto her designer papers and then coloring the images. Well, I really like the effect it gives, and I will be using this more often.I used Pure Luxury card stock for my base, topped it with Memory box striped paper, stamped using the above mentioned stamp, and colored with Copic Markers. My hearts were punched with the same card stock, and embossed with a Swiss Dot EF. My scattered words are from a K&Co, Words to Go, Take Out Box. I added a lavender gingham bow and a fancy vintage heart button from my stash. There are Prima's with Dew Drops and touches of Stickles added to the stamped flowers for sparkle.

Spectacular GF! Love your stamping on the dp and the coloring is perfect! Everything about this card screams spring... hope you see some sun soon!
Wow Mary Anne! I will have to try stamping onto the DP - what a beautiful effect that is. Your card is so pretty - love that you used the colors you used!!! Thanks for sharing. BTW...it's so dreary here that I could scream! Bring on some sunshine!!!
We had mostly snow but it's almost gone now, I came on in to work, I'm on the main road, bummer at times, Love the card, will have to try that!!!! Good luck with all those challenges!
How sweet and lovely Mary Anne. Love the dp and the sentiment.
I love that technique and would never have thought of it, thanks for sharing! The card is awesome.
I've got one word for you, Mary Anne~ Beautiful!! :)
WOW! I've never tried stamping and coloring on DP, but after seeing this, I will definitely have to give that a shot!! This is just beautiful!!

What a lovely card, (my favorite color!) It makes me think of spring! I am so ready for sunshine. Great job on your card...love to see your work!
Beautiful non mooshie gooshie valentine's day card. I love how you separated each word. And stamping directly on pattern paper does look so cool. I forget about that technique. Thanks for the reminder. :o) Have a great week!
this is soooooo pretty! (you are so sweet to think of me) love the individual words and my fav colors!!
so sick of cold and ice but at least we arent buried in snow.....yet :(
Your card is just adorable. Great colors too.
Like everyone else, I like how you have stamped right on the DP. Great job!
