A very simple Valentine using my Sizzix Embosslits to dry EB and diecut the main heart image out of a pretty piece of Brushos I used to color a piece of Watercolor paper. I thought the color was close enough to the Melon Mambo Peggy chose for her CC516 this week :-) I also die cut 3 layers of XOXO and glued together for a more popped up look. Wanted to keep the BG simple, so just added some squibbles with my new Pink Pirouette Blendability Marker (Occasions Catty). I punched out Tiny Little hearts from the confetti border punch for the Less is More "Tiny Little Ones" Challenge and used a Teeny Tiny Wishes sentiment also for the challenge.
My Dry EB and EB resist polka dot paper that I brayered with Pink Pirouette were all for Loll's new HLS February "Embossing" Challenge! So pleased Loll you are feeling better and your leg is healing :-)

Terrific CAS valentine card, Nancy. Love the texture you incorporated and duplicating the "xoxo" die cuts gives a wonderful depth when they are stacked.
