My card base is white, with a scrap layer of a putty colored card. I used the heart arrow to create a background with black ink. I took the large sentiment from the KOM, stamped it on a scrap of soft sand, and added touches of color with Copics. I framed it in black, to make it pop. I pulled out my old, small heart punch from EK Success, punched it out of red, distressed edges with black and popped it up. As accents I used May Arts mesh ribbon, American Crafts red twine, and a Queen & Co. gem. I also broke out a great Christmas gift I received from a friend, which is a white Sharpie. Wow, what was I missing? This really made things jump off the page!
Since I used all my little bits, I also want to enter this Valentine over at Pixie Snippets Playground, where I was a very proud winner last week! Woo Hoo!

Mary Anne,
The mesh ribbon, twine and Heart punch are great for this and the white sharpie really adds to the overall look.
A beautiful Valentine for sure, Mary Anne, and I love what it says!

oooh. Love the fiber ribbon, twine and heart!
Very cute! I love that textured piece at the top - I've seen people using that and don't know what it is or where it's gotten, but it's cool! Love this quote, and the white dots are great!
This is such a lovely stamp. I love the mesh ribbon and the heart at the top! It really adds neat texture.
Such a cool Valentine card with that mesh, the pretty red dangling heart and all those white dots! Nice job on this one! :)
Very pretty Mary Anne. The colors are beautiful and the top heart and trimmings are perfect. :)
