This Verve stamp was brand new and it was calling to me to use for a girly girl Valentine card. I gessoed the paper beneath lightly to help it pop some.
I used one of my premade DIY paper flowers for one of the circles. The scroll die is also new and has holly leaves where the hearts are. I saw the new Penny Black die release and decided why not just pop hearts over the leaves? Love thinking of new ways to use my stuff! Also, the paper is new G45. This weekend I took my girls on a trip to the "city" and we hit the big scrapbook store up, then spent hours on end at the mall! I didn't buy too much, but had to have some yummy floral paper!
I'm linking my easy peasy Valentine inspiration to:

Wow!! I would not have thought that the bold flower paper would look good with all these embellies, but you have married them all up very well. I love that sentiment too.

So pretty, Autumn! I love that floral paper, and great idea to use the hearts over the holly leaves! I love to hear ways others use their stuff, and this is a genius idea! Beautiful design and fabulous colors! Have a great week and rest up! You've been very busy! Hugs! PS which big city? Still trying to get an idea of how far you are from Wilmington.
Stunning work!

Great job with that tough sketch! Love that scripture to bits! Somehow, it always makes me take a deep breath and relax a little ;). And your layered bloom... Swoon!
Oh my gracious... I would/could never consider this 'easy peasy' Autumn. This card is completely INCREDIBLE. Truly BEAUTIFUL. Wow - imagine receiving such a beauty... whew! I have never done any project following a sketch so right off you had me intrigued. And then... all the layers, the luscious flower, the doily, the colors are all just so Valentine reminiscent to me. Plus... the scripture... that was definitely the icing on the "card". Seriously GORGEOUSLY FABULOUS. j.
