I Love You Valentine

Since there are so many Valentine/Love challenges this week I decided to make another Valentine's Day card ~ not to mention the fact that I still need a few more to give/send out..... 

I used Best Buddies set from Your Next Stamp since they are such a cute couple and are perfect for Valentine's Day.  I used DP from the K&Company KaZoo stack and the big heart the cute couple is on was cut out from one of the papers in that stack ~ how easy is that!?!  I paper pieced her dress and added stickles to her headband, the heart and her shoes (speaking of shoes, don't the little bows on her shoes look like hearts?) and then added some more stickles to the outer layer of the sentiment as well as the heart on the sentiment.  Both the sentiment and the couple are popped up on dimensionals.  I wish I could have gotten a better picture showing the right side of the card as the bottom edge is punched with a border punch, but even with the stand, I couldn't get it flat enough to photograph properly.
