I'll be honest and I was more than a bit nervous about colouring the large heart, and had to resist a strong urge to paper piece it. I tried to leave it quite pale, so used my DI reinkers to watercolour the image. Without wishing to blow my own trumpet, I think he turned out quite well.
And I really LOVE these gorgeous LOTV Always and Forever papers. (I may have possibly bought a spare pad of it to keep in reserve!)
To finish off, I've used one of my beloved pearl brads, a shimmery pink satin bow and some pretty pearls.
