Hi everyone, I gave this card to my daughter for Valentine's Day. This is also my card for the SCS Free for All Friday Challenge F4A625 of Hearts and/or Flowers. I chose hearts which are around the bear and on the punched border. Please see this link for the details on the Challenge---> F4A625 - 2/11/21 - Hearts and/OR Flowers by ohmypaper! at Splitcoaststampers
The main image is by Trimcraft - Me to You (Tatty Teddy) Sweet Shoppe decoupage kit which is from some years ago. Makes it so easy to layer the images together when all the pieces are already diecut 😀 Tatty Teddy is holding a sweet/lolly/candy in case you couldn't figure out what it is. Inside the card, it says: "You are so sweet". My daughter and I are BIG Tatty Teddy fans - he is so adorable! I layered the image onto some mint cardstock and rounded the corners with my Corner Chomper then popped the panel up on dimensionals.
All the designer papers are by Cocoa Vanilla - Unforgettable - 6" x 8" paper stack which just happened to match the image perfectly. The punched pink cardstock border was made using my old favourite edge punch - Martha Stewart Lace Heart border. I glued the leftover punched hearts around the image just to fill in some of the blank space and added some sparkle to them using a Wink of Stella clear glitter brush. All the layers were trimmed to 1/16" and 1/8" respectively using my Perfect Layers Tools.
The sentiment is from another Trimcraft 'Me to You' range. The twine came from my local supermarket and was part of their Valentine's Day range. Finished size is 5-1/2" x 5-1/2" or about 140mm x 140mm.

This is such a sweet Valentine! I love that image - very cute. Pink and mint are great colours together and, as you say, go with the image perfectly. Your heart border and twine are lovely additions. Super card!
