Wonderful Wednesday morning to all of you and welcome to another Cooking It Up with Katie challenge. This week we want to see you using hearts, punches, and embossing on your projects. Our sponsor is Robyn's Fetish and I used an image of little Lucy with a heart and flowers for her Valentine guy.
Both the heart and Lucy's dress are paper pieced (not the easiest piecing job I've ever done!) and the rest of her is colored with ProMarkers. I fussy cut her before layering her onto deep pink CS. The white lace is threaded with red satin ribbon, which is tied into a bow. The background paper is embossed and on the large flower, I've highlighted the stamen with gel ink. The mat piece for the image is border punched and also embossed with a Swiss dot folder. I punched the top corners of the card to lend a bit more decoration. The pearls and the single flower with rhinestone are the final embellishments.

Gosh, this takes me back to the 50s when we did Valentine's - I love it! That embossed background flower is super pretty - was the paper already like that, or did you use an embossing folder? The layers and romantic elements say "Happy Valentine's Day" for sure! Thank you for sharing! huggers

Just adorable.
