Love Valentine's Day Card with Nancy Nickel

Hello, everyone!

It's Nancy here today to share a fun Valentine project.
I've made a Glittery Love Valentine card,
using some fabulous chipboard pieces from Southern Ridge Trading Company!

Here's my sparkly card:

Here's what I used to make it:

First I cut the background paper and adhered it to the front of the A2 Card Base.

Then I glued the pink paper to the front of the chipboard tag.

I trimmed around it with my blade, and then inked all the edges.

I looped some red glittery ribbon through the top of the tag,

and then added a ribbon bow.

I added glue to the front of the "Love" and two chipboard hearts.

While the glue was still wet, I sprinkled the red glitter liberally over top.

Once the glue was all dry, I adhered the chipboard tag and hearts in place on the card base.

Here's a close-up look at the "love"-ly word!

You may also notice that there's random glitter .

I forgot to brush off all the loose glitter once it was dry...oops! 

I did that after the photos were taken. 

It's such a pretty combination of products!
