This card is made purely from dies and a little red alcohol ink on yupo. The 'I Love You' is by Alexandra Renke cut in black card. I use double sided tape before putting through the Sizzix as its far easier than applying wet glue after.
After playing with the alcohol inks and before it was totally dry I added some foil and there is a reason for five love hearts, this year will be our 5th Valentine's Day together.
I wish the whole heart was covered in red but alas...
