Today’s card is one I received from Robin Charvet. This would make another great card design. Plus, the colors are very striking. I love how she pulled out the Peacock color from the Gimme Some Sugar Patterned Paper. Plus, she used Bashful–CTMH’s Color of the Year!

Valentine’s cards don’t need to just be red, pink or purple. You can make any heartfelt handmade card into the perfect Valentine!
