Good Saturday morning. I have a fun clean and simple project to share with you today. I love creating little flower garden scenes and the new Impression Obsession Floral Heart Strip gave me the perfect opportunity to use it for a Valentine. I paired it with the Small Grass Border, Butterfly Set and Border Duo 1.
I started by cutting the heart strip in green, pink and red.
I trimmed the tops of the hearts off the green strip to make it easier to line up and attach the pink and red hearts. If you layer over the whole background heart it is sometimes hard to get it on perfect and the background heart edges shows. I don’t like that.
I cut the hearts off the red and pink strips to attach to tops of the green strip. .
I attached a tiny dot of glossy accents to the green tops and attached the hearts in a random order.
I placed the strip face down on my molding pad and pushed down on each heart with my stylus. This added a little form and dimension to each heart.
I ran the grass border through my wave crimper to add texture and dimension. I applied glossy accents to the strip and attached it to the white layer. I attached tiny strips of mounting tape to the bottom of the strip and tiny pieces of tape to the small grass border and attached then together.
I attached the white layer to the card base with mounting tape to add another layer of dimension.
I love butterflies and thought they would be the perfect finishing touch to add another element of color to the white layer and draw the eye up and add interest to the red card top.
Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you have a great weekend.

Kittie, you've done it again! What a darling Valentine card, love all the die elements you used and thank you for the tutorial for the little tulip heads, talk about a labor of love. What a pretty contrast with the white against the red and that gorgeous border duo 1 die, a perfect accent. Beautifully done as usual.
