Love you

Blogger is giving me trouble to upload the pictures. Is it doing same for you?

Since Valentine is around the corner, I wanted to start on my Valentine cards. I got the color inspiration from the picture and the sketch below.

The image is from Whimsie Doodles. I punch the flowers from pale green cardstock but I don't know the name of the punch. Anybody can help me? I also added some adhesived pearls onto them.

 I colored with my prismas, stamped the background with PaperTrey Ink Gold pad onto green cardstock and matted it on embossed paper. Flowers were punched and adhered with pop dots and 3L adhesives. The words "Love you" were handwritten.

Since I need to send this card to a friend, I needed to have it sent in a bigger envelope. I used some pink fluorescent "washi-like" tape, doodled an arrow and stamped some flowers from the Swirly Set.  I also added some embossed cardstock inside as a token.

I have also made this envelope for Make It Monday #100 where the oh so talented Dawn McVey shows us how to package cards with oversized embellishments.  I know my embellishments are not oversized but my border which literally acts as an embellishment, do fit the idea right?
