To make my Valentine, I did things backwards from the way I usually do. I picked the paper first, instead of coloring the images, then picking paper. It just seemed the better way to go since there isn’t a lot of coloring to do w/ these images. After I had the 3 pieces I wanted to use from the collection, I found a solid pink that would work & put it into my Misti. They were stamped first w/ the Memento, then I added just a hint of pink w/ a couple of Copics & a little white to the mailbox & envelope w/ a white Prismacolor pencil. I stamped over it w/ the Versafine, added the greeting, then added some pink sparkle w/ a Wink of Stella pen. Sorry you really can’t see it in pictures, but in person, it adds a nice sparkle. The little hearts were cut using the Love die onto some leftover pink w/ another partial image of the Mailbox w/ Hearts.Â
Here’s a look at the inside w/ more of the hearts.
Please be sure to comment on all the DT Blogs..it will be so appreciated & also increase your chances of winning!

Wow, what a beautiful card. I do so love your work, Julie. You have such a signature style whether you know it or not.
A fantastic valentine! Love the color selection! Thanks for sharing.
Love the layers and color combo! Wonderful image, and I love the envelope image in the corner!
Love the dark and light of the pink and black. It makes it so elegant. The mailbox reminds us that mailing cards to our friends and family is so much better than emailing.
Great! I always look forward to your creations.
The pinks and the blacks look beautiful together! Very pretty inspiration!
I have this paper pack and was recently wondering what I might do with it. Thanks for the inspiration!
