MWAH!!! FOR VALENTINE'S DAY

I have made a Valentine's Day card using images from Nana Vic's Digitals: 


I used a white cardstock base, red cardstock mats, and created my own background in MS Word.

Nana Vic's images were used for the 'XOXOXO' border.

The lips are the other Nana Vic's image \i used, but I recoloured to bright red and added a little Copics shading to give them a fullness.

I think this is one of my favourite valentine's cards I have made this year.

    Hugs and Kisses right back at you girl. I adore the subtle shading using the copics on the lips, it really makes them pop. Now I wasn't sure about the xoxo but now that I see it used as a border I'm so pleased that I keep it in. Excellent background paper that you created as well. Thank you sooooooo much. *Huge Hugs*
