I added some (well lots) of Liquid Pearls around the image, there is no such thing as too much glitz on a Valentines Day card is there? :)
Plenty of hearts too, from the paper, the felt hearts, the ribbon, the doily and the brad, it sure will show someone how much you care.
I hope you liked this and be sure to get creating, you only have 2 weeks to get those Valentines completed and ready to give to that special person in your life.

It is so long since I crafted, especially something without a deadline, that when I sat down to this my Mojo took a walk!
But after stepping away for a while, trying a few different things, not rushing myself, it did eventually come together.
This card was inspired by the challenge at The Shabby Tea Room and also I needed to get this little cutie inked up and the two just worked well together.
This gorgeous Prima Ballerina Tilda from The Little Moscow Collection has been sitting on my desk for a couple of weeks and so she is the "Something New" on this card and I'm so glad she has finally made her way onto a card.

After finishing the card I decided it needed a little extra sparkle and so I added Liquid Pearls to the image and a little homemade spritz to the flowers.
I inked the edges a little to add to the Shabby Chic feel and now it was all done I feel pretty pleased with the results and I hope you do too :)
