Hearts and Flowers

What better way to say Happy Valentine's Day than with hearts and flowers . . . and CANDY?  And here's the perfect card to go with those yummy chocolates.
Begin by paste embossing the Floral Heart stencil (LG712) white embossing paste (DEP).  When the paste is dry, position the clean stencil over the image and color to your heart's content.  I used a variety of inks (mostly Splendor Inks by Tsukineko), Metallic F/X and Metallic Gelly Roll pens by Sakura, to achieve the desired results.  Give the ink ample time to dry before cutting out the image.  Prepare your card base and mat, add ribbon and image and you're done!

And don't forget . . . there's still time to play along with the January challenge.  For the month of January, we challenge you to create something for Valentine's Day.  You have until January 31st, 11:59 PM EST, to post and link your creation(s) to the Dream It Up! blog Mr. Linky.  The winners will be announced February 2nd, along with the February challenge.
