The Color Challenge colors of black, white & red all over are probably my favorite colors for a Valentine & I thought they would be perfect for this idea I had of having a city silhouette inside a large heart opening.
I kind of surprised myself..no stamping & no coloring! Just a whole bunch of die cuts. The city scene was cut out of black & die cut the silhouette behind it once out of white & then again out of the red. The red version was offset to add a little space between it & the bg paper.
A white glitter moon was added along w/ a little heart on a stem as sort of a balloon floating out of one of the windows. The squiggly line was die cut to act as the "heartbeat" w/ a double stacked Love & another little heart.
Thanks so much for looking. Closeups & the inside are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Wow, my friend! This card is so striking with the city scene within the heart. Your cards are always a masterpiece, Julie, whether there are stamped images or not! Hugs!!

There is a whole lot to love here! I especially love the stacked cityscape in the heart cutout! There is so much depth to that little space! Your sentiment is wonderfully apt and the little floating heart is a fun bit of whimsy!
