This is what happens to the next card I create after making a “clean and simple” one…
Embossing, Sponging, Distressing, Flower, Velvet, Paper Punches, Lots o’Layers and BLING!!
..**Phew**.. I feel better now! 
I love the effect of stamping on embossed areas like the hearts on this card. I used the Paisley Backgrounder for it here.
This is another card off to Pat Adam for her Valentines drive for the kids at Children’s Hospital of Michigan. She needs them all by February 8th. If you are interested in helping, check out her blog for more details.
Happy Crafting!

I thought the flower was a fresh and real one because it really looks like one. This card is intended really for Valentines with all the hearts and reds.
Susan, this is over the top! I love everything about this valentine card…lots of work, but so worth it.
This is so beautiful!! That color combo is so striking and rich-looking, and the way you’ve stamped on the embossed hearts really sets it off! Love your flower, velvet ribbon, and heart border (I just picked that one up recently but have yet to use it), and those rhinestone hearts are so cute! What a lovely card to send off. tfs
