Hearts and Flowers

It seems that Christmas is barely over and we are on to the next 'occasion' day, which is of course Valentines Day.

Now I may be getting cynical in my old age, but this seems to me to be a very commercial affair these days, and sometimes I think it means more to do something caring or thoughtful than go out spending a load of money!

That said, I do like to see a few hearts in the various images that come out at this time of year, and I have dug this one out of my digi archive which i think is just perfect, and would do well as a card for any occasion.
I have kept my card very simple, in line with my image, which is by Tiddly Inks (I think I forgot to mention that!)

My colouring is done with my Spectrum Noir pens and, for once I was organised enough to remember to write down the colours, so you will find them at the bottom of this post.

I wanted a bit of bling, so a tiny bit of glitter on the heart flowers (which kind of looks like frost I thought) and some lovely pearl dots.

It was a really simple card, but I was very pleased with the result, so I also made one with coloured pencils...which I will have to post another time!

Thanks for visiting today and I hope you all have a great weekend.
