Valentine’s Week # 2

So this is the second of my Valentine’s cards, it is one I made as a swap for Stampin’ Up!’s convention last summer.  I chose really contemporary colors for this one and it used heat embossing technique for the background.  Once again, I think it would make a perfect anniversary, engagement or wedding card!

I hope you are enjoying these valentine projects – please leave me a comment!
