Black and white is such an elegant combination.
Add a touch of colour, and it gives it a new dimension. A liberal splash of colour and it looks different again. I'm fascinated by the different effects different shades and different colours give, so this was an interesting challenge.
Both digital images are from Lily Boos Boutique. It's quite a plain, simple card with a lot of white, so it needed a bit of a lift. I edged the pink at the top with a Fiskars Threading Water Punch.
I used the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug embossing folder and a pink flower rhinestone to add some texture in the absence of a lot of colour. I've also added Swiss Dots to the Love sentiment since this photo, which I think adds to it.
There is also just the tiniest hint of Kindy Glitz for sparkle on the flower centres. The Love sentiment is raised with mounting tape.
This card is my entry in the following challenges -

Spoonful of Sugar - Hearts
Digital Tuesday - Valentine
Cute Daisy May - Love
