MY FIRST VALENTINE OF 2013

Even though I have been thinking about making valentines for several days now, this is the first one I actually made.  And now I have all sorts of ideas flowing to make other cards.  First, let me show you the one I made today.

I started with a base of Pink Pirouette, standard card size.  Then I added a layer of retired DSP and a cut out doiley from the DSP.  I used my Big Shot to cut out L-O-V-E from the red glimmer paper and the Owl Punch to punch out the small red heart inside the "O".

I used the NEW POP TOPS from the Spring Catalog and flattened it with my big shot.  Then I stamped the heart image from the new SPRING SAMPLER stamp set of 24 mini stamps, punched it out with the 1" circle punch and used crystal effects to glue it into the POP CAP.  I put crystal effects on the stamped heart for a shiney effect.  Oh, one last thing, a mini pink bow on the top left hand side.

Isn't it pretty?  I love how all the colors go together so well together.  Will you leave me a comment about this card or the elements I used for it?  I love to hear from you.

Here's to inky fingers y'all!!
