Valentine XO

My card was inspired by a color challenge using pale pink, aqua and mint. I chose to use Valentine theme.
All of the elements were die cut. The flourish and hearts were heat embossed with clear powder to achieve the shine. All were edge-sponged and adhered to a panel of white cardstock using foam tape. The panel was dusted with a blend of the inks. The "xo" on the largest heart was die cut in two colors and adhered. The white pearls were added to finish off the card. The panel was adhered to a white card base. The interior was decorated with a word die set, "Hugs."
The card is being submitted to:
