Amy’s My Aqua Valentine series last year inspired me to combine the blue and fuchsia colors in this card. And a little neon confetti notebook that I made this summer is the reason I covered the card with scattered hearts.

I’ve never made a valentines card with decoupage before and I really liked how easy it was to create! The brushstrokes within the decoupage give my Valentine's Day card character and a ‘handmade’ texture.

And I love the translucency of the tissue paper layers. I bet it would be pretty to use multi-colored papers and other shapes, too. I can’t wait to make more cards like this for other holidays!
