There are so many stunning valentine themed layouts showing up in the gallery,that I could not resist a fling at it. To me,they take me back to a dreamy romantic day,a day you are deliberately made to feel special. I like the hearts part...never saw a heart I did not admire,lol!!Then thoughts turn to schooldays..remember making out your cards to take to school in that special box that you and your Mom had chosen.Beaming when someone special placed a card in your box to keep with your treasures.How symbolic are these special messages that you read and re-read ...take from the box and smile.. oh how I love the nostalgia of the valentine's message...

My background was made with two papers from APP Sweet Pea,top layer with a mask and brushes were used to reveal.Then layers of stains were applied,using colors from my images and papers.I used two images that were blended by mask/brush>reveal.Image #2 was duplicated to deepen the color then duplicated again and a mask was applied.I used the watercolor hearts to reveal parts of that image . A frame and parts of a beaded threadz were placed over that image and I added some scriptTease to the corner.Splatter,stitches,more stain,textures were all added to the layout.I colored the watercolor hearts white and stamped a few over my layout on a separate layer.The MultiMediaBirds psd was imported and some layers were turned off.WoodWords and ScriptTease was placed over the larger image. I finished with adding a few textures and the title was made with Valeria Script Cola Pen Font.
