Made a "Valentine Card"

Colored with Copics~~R 59, 39, 37, 35, 32, 30.....W7, 5, 3 and shadowed image with C1

Papers:  Black CS and EP Dots and Stripes Christmas Collection :)  Cut a slit using craft knife and threaded layered ribbons (Sheer black, fancy white and red).  Decided to use MS rtp rain drop punches--thought they would be fitting with parasol :D  Printed saying, which was created by Mwah,  as I printed the digi.  Fancied top of card with EK Success border punch.  Finished off with blingy rhinestones and stardust stickles---oh and I did softened edges of image with TH weathered wood ink.

This is inside--used reverse side of EP paper......Above you see the dots and here you see the stripes---hee hee.   Hearts are a craft stamp from local Michael's store.  Left space for a personal message and there's the stickles again~~I really don't think I create anything without stickles :D  Yes I love the glitz!!!!!!!!*@#!!!!!

Just another view :) The image and the black bordered layer are popped up with foam tape.
