Kathie this is a gorgeous card with the most beautiful paper I've seen. I love all your layers and details - like the colored satin heart (what an awesome tip), the enameled image heart and those fabulous recycled ribbons. The image couldn't be cuter the way you've colored it. A fantastic card and one of your best. Have a wonderful week!
Hugs to you,
Sharon

Kathie, I so adore your sweet LOVE BUG. He turned out so cute. I love your fun DP. It really dresses up your card! I also love how your glossed your heart. I thought you added white to it in the first photo...which looks wonderful too. But now I can tell it is just a reflection from the light. Very stunning! Love your jewels, heart embellishment and your fun swirly sentiment!
