I started off by stamping my images on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I cut them all using the matching dies, and then colored everything using my alcohol markers. Lots of red, light pinks and browns! Along with the images from Sweet Chocolates, I picked one of the cupcakes from Valentine Cupcakes.

Once the coloring was done, I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches Strathmore bristol smooth panel, and colored it using tumbled glass and broken china oxide inks. And to make this background more interesting, I used the Layered Heart Lattice stencils along with broken china oxide ink again. I mixed some broken china oxide ink with water and used a small brush to add splatters to my panel, and then did the same with copic opaque white ink.

Next I created a two-part greeting using stamps from Sweet Chocolates. I white heat embossed the word "Sweet" on black cardstock, and cut it using the matching die. I also white heat embossed the words "You are" on light pink cardstock, and trimmed it into a slim banner using a Sentiment Strips die.

I attached everything on my Layered Heart Lattice panel using 1mm foam squares, added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and finished the card by applying some morning dew nuvo drops on the hearts for a sparkling touch.
