This is my first project posted using my new Silhouette, which is the butterfly which was cut in red and black and formed.The EF is Crafts Too, the edge EK Success. I cut the heart/arrow from an older Quickutz die. I ran the red piece through my computer printing words of love in many languages from something I found on Pinterest. I added the heart brilliants to the butterfly body and the right hand corner. This may not be CAS enough and the challenge police may not be pleased with my posting it for the wonderful "Love is in the Air" challenge. I have another idea so I will be back with something simpler.
Thank you so much for stopping in for a peek!
Edit: SO many of you liked the writing on the heart that I decided to attach the Pinterest link to it!
It is a bit tricky to line up with a heart die cut but the way I did it was to print it first on copy paper, cut the red heart and temp glue to the copy paper directly over where it has printed and ran it back through the printer. I use this technique a lot to print on die cut sentiment holders or even for the inside of the card.

What a fantastic butterfly, Peggy! How fun to use a Silhouette too! Love these unconventional colors for Valentines and love the words you used to cut your heart! I really need to spend more time on pinterest after seeing the amazing things you find. The gems add just the right touch of glitz to this!
