This card was made for today's sketch challenge and using yesterday's Color Challenge. I thought I would not like these colors, but they are stunning together. I did no stamping on this card, but used lots of texture with an embossing folder and some delicate dies. The gorgeous La Rue Heart die is by Memory Box and cuts out beautifully. I thought about adding a greeting panel where the arrow on the sketch is, but decided I needed to mimic the delicate lines in the heart and went with the small Cheery Lynn Flourish. I added a punched flower and some jems.

Kathy, your valentine is beautiful in the non-traditional colors. The die cuts you used are exquisite and put together in a most wonderful way and the embossed texture and gray DP all add to your card.
