Just in case you are looking for one more Valentine card idea. (Hope this isn't too late in the game to share.)… This card sort of goes along the same path as my January 27th card and my February 4th Project Life page. I used a bit of "puzzle-piecing" to emphasize the yellow flowers in the background.
And for the pink flowers in the foreground, I curled the petals a bit using my bone folder so they would pop out more.
For a bit a balance with the card design, I added a couple small pieces from a second die-cut heart so I would have some greenery coming out over the sentiment. It looked pretty empty there without them.
Sometimes we forget to make the inside of the card fancy too. So I added another sprig and an extra pink flower.
