Happy Valentine's Day bloggy friends! Happy Heart Day - hope you get lots of love today! Too bad it's during the middle of the week when everyone is so dang busy. I was the lucky recipient of some chocolate covered strawberries delivered to my office yesterday (thanks honey)! MMMMMMM. He knows the way to my heart (chocolate!) Can't wait to spend some time with my hubs later on tonight. What are your plans? Are you a hopeless romantic? Even when I was single I always celebrated Valentine's Day by sending cards to my friends. It's a universal lovefest for me. Hope that you have a nice day, whatever you're doing.
I have one last Valentine creation to post today....I used one of my favorite color combos....red and aqua. Seems like aqua is everywhere these days? Maybe just because I love it, I'm seeing it everywhere. I used the awesome Pool Party color from Stampin' Up to be exact. Our master bedroom is painted this color! I'm using the gorgeous new heart layers dies from Papertrey Ink again too. Yup, this one is all about romance...
The flower stamps from this set fit perfectly into the larger heart stamp. Then I stamped a couple more and cut them out to pop them off the page for some dimension. I picked a nice bright cherry red to match my flowered paper. The butterfly die is also from PTI. It all just works together so nicely.
Here's a close up of my butterfly. The teensy pearl in the center is from Stampin' Up - they have the best pearls out there...and I adore this tiny size.
Here's another shot of my layers....
This card really was so much fun to create. You know how sometimes you sit down to make something and it comes out just like you wanted? That happened to me with this one. I hope you liked it too!
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY! XOXOXO
Absolutely gorgeous, Wanda! I am hanging onto these papers...love them!!! I hope that you had a Happy Valentine's Day! (I was lucky enough to have some chocolate covered strawberries from the kids' parties at school...yum!). :D

Wanda,
this card is beautiful. The color combination is great and the hearts and flowers are a nice mix. the textured paper adds just the right blend along with the pearl swirl accents. i love it. hope you are feeling 100% again after your long flu illness. Hopefully now that spring is around the corner you'll be back to your normal self. enjoy the evening with your husband. He seems like a real sweetheart.
