I used the rock and roll technique on the hearts for the card and envelope.
After cutting the bottoms of the hearts I embossed using a large metal ball stylus and folded paper towel.
The vellum flowers were also embossed and it took all of 12 seconds, I timed it. The cuttlebug Tiny Tags die was used to cut the flower centers from glitter cardstock. They were assembled and attached to the card with Diamond Glaze and I mounted them on two 1/8” circles of cardstock.
The Scor-Pal was used to emboss the lines on the card and envelope.
For the small heart flowers on the card front I colored the image with markers and then stamped.
For the envelope heart flowers I placed only the hearts of the image on the pink ink pad and rock and rolled in the darker ink then I turned the image around and placed only the stems and leaves to the green ink pad and stamped. Here is a better view of the envelope and the inside of the card on this direct post link to my blog.
The Happy ValentineÂ’s Day sentiment is a straight image but what is nice about the clear stamps is that you can easily change the shape and I thought the wave would look nice with the hearts and its less fuss getting it straight.

Ha! In the thumbnail, I thought it was ball fringe like some put in their car windows!! Glad to see it was a string of R & R'd hearts! Darling Valentine, Rox!
