Hi HH Fans;

February is just around the corner and so is Valentine’s Day.

According to Wikepedia, Valentine’s Day originated as a  Western Christian feast day honoring one or two early Christian martyrs named Saint Valentine and is recognized as a significant cultural, religious, and commercial celebration of romance and love in many regions of the world. Even though it isn’t a public holiday, it is still celebrated on February 14th, and many Valentine’s Day cards are given out by children and adults alike.  Some as secret admirers.

For today’s card I have used the adorable Kitty’s Heart Frame paired with I love You! both from High Hopes Stamps.  After colouring the image with Copic Markers, I fuzzy cut it. I stamped the image again and cut around the heart shape and then used that mask to cut another heart using some mulberry paper.  A heart die was used with another piece of mulberry paper.  Some ribbon and enamel dots finished off the card.
