I guess we all get locked into thinking 'love' cards need to be red or pink, well - how about black and gold? I think it looks sophisticated and classy.
I coloured this image with a metallic marker pen, then coated the hearts with Glossy Accents (they got two coats and are quite raised). The gorgeous leafy frame is diecut from quilted heart paper and matted onto metallic gold card with a slim border, then onto a stripey base card with a scalloped edge. The Love sentiment is cut in gold mirror card, and a tiny gold stick-on metal heart too.
