Got it? Good! I did a classic 'stare at your craft supplies until something clicks' card (you know you've done it, too) and finally honed in on the pack of doilies I found in the Target dollar bin ages ago. I added some pink Perfect Pearls spray to it and while that dried the rest of the card started falling into place; some burgundy natural fiber paper I had in my scrap bin, kraft paper for the base, the ever-adorable DeNami chickie in a coffee cup stamp and the finishing touch of the Heirloom Gold Perfect Pearls gave me...
...a rustic Valentine with some shimmer, shine, and glitz.

I used the metallic brass Distress Ink to give it those gilded edges. I have to say, I really love how it came out and will have to try these techniques again!

Thanks for sharing part of your morning with me! You're now off to Greta's blog to see what Valentine treat she's cooked up for you!
Happy Crafting!
