The Card Concept #128 - Love

Happy Valentine's Day Friends,
Playing along with The Card Concept #128 which is an inspiration picture that is perfect for Valentine's Day or sending someone a little love.  My inspiration came from the red and white striped container on the mantle, the hearts, cushions and I used the word Love for my Mixed Media card. I sponged the White Gesso on red card using the striped stencil, love the soft look I achieved and then used embossing paste on the white heart for some texture.  I then die cut the word love and punched out the hearts randomly placing them on the background and heart.  I finished off the inside with the word You and added a few more hearts.
