Perfect color combo for a Valentine! After I die cut the hearts, I started gluing down the sequins. I started w/ big red ones then added small red ones (& 1 silver) on top. Silver sequins were used on the small heart & I outlined both w/ a silver sharpie. The white linen bg was sponged w/ a couple of red Distress inks from the top down then to soften the blend, I sponged white Brilliance from the lower edge of the red upwards. That left a bit of a sheen that you see in the closeup. It was die cut twice & a metallic silver layer added in between. The little hearts below the greeting were filled w/ red stickles.
Thanks so much for looking. Closeups & the inside are on my blog: The Write Stuff

The hearts are gorgeous with the sequins and I really like the paper pierced look and the texture of the edges of the silver layer. So classy and pretty Julie!

Oh that had to be so much fun putting all those sequins on! NOT! I get those things all over everything but the paper. Your looks awesome!

This is a real WOW card Julie. I am not sure what I love more: these gorgeous sequined hearts or your sponging (which is fantastic!). I also love the sparkly roses hanging from your wonderful sentiment. You really rocked the color challenge with this gorgeous card. ~Karen.
