My Hubby's Valentine's day card

I have made loads of cards that would be suitable to give to my Hubby for Valentine's day but decided it would be nice to give him one that has been made especially for him. I coloured this image in bed this morning and put it together this evening. It was quite a quick card to put together as I knew what I wanted to do having planned in my head all afternoon.
I decided to play along with the latest Passion for Promarkers challenge by using the chosen colours for this week: Agean, Cool Aqua and Sky Blue to colour in my image. I have used this image before but in different colourways, I think she is really cute.

The papers are all from a DCWV paper pad that my Hubby bought me for Christmas so they all coordinate really nicely. The frame that Tilda is sitting on is from one of the pages. I cut it out with my scissors then cut the circle in the middle with my Nesties. The heart was also cut with my Nesties and edged in Mica powder (1st time I have used them ...)I added lace from John Lewis with Tesco Christmas ribbon to the front of the card before layering up the heart, frame and image. The sentiment stamped on the heart is from Elzybells as are the heart buttons. The butterflies are Nestabilities. I added another piece of ribbon tied around the frame and some gems to finish.
You can see on the close up of the image that I added Sakura highlights to the image and added glossy accents to the little Butterfly.
