Valentine's Day, You are Loved card

 

Today’s card uses the Marbled Elegance Specialty designer paper that I am obsessed with. I love marble and the Gold foil added to it just makes my heart happy. I thought the Birch wood embossing folder was the perfect complement to this amazing paper. I also love to stitching on the hearts from the Hearts of Elegance die set.

I left the inside sentiment blank so this card can easily be a Valentine's day, birthday, thing of you or miss you card by simply adding the appropriate sentiment.
