This is the last Valentine for me this season...
I used the Brayered Brilliance Technique for the background (from the February 2010 Technique Junkie Newsletter). The flourish I used is from the Rustic Artsy Swirls Set from Innovative Stamp Creations. This background is gorgeous and has a subtle shimmer that is not showing up, unfortunately.
The image is from Twisted Papers. I colored the black and white image lightly with colored pencils. I love having the ability to alter these images however I choose. (Make sure to check out their awesome discount on my sidebar, too!) The flowers are Decorated Pretties (October 2009 Technique Junkie Newsletter). I layered those two items over a purple piece that I stamped with a Stampin' Up! Stamp in white, then misted with a silver shimmer spray. It's a pretty piece all on its own!
I hope you are having a great Valentines Day!

Adorable--I need to do some projects with my brayer--this might be the time to dig it out again!
This is just beautiful. Love the technique and the colors you used. Happy Valentine's Day!
Lovely. Great idea to colour your black and white image--nice way to match the bg.
Rather nice site you've got here. Thanks for it. I like such themes and anything that is connected to this matter. I definitely want to read a bit more soon.
