As promised here is the recipe for my "Love You" card.

The design is based on the pattern "Sentimental Wave" from Jeanette Lynton's "Wishes" Card Confidence Program.  The pattern and cutting instructions are found on page 118.

INGREDIENTS:
Sorbet Cardstock (for base and embellishments)
Felicity Collection (die-cut sorbet paper and MyAcrylix stamp set)
Colonial White Cardstock (for embellishments)
Exclusive Inks Cocoa
Clear Sparkles
Ribbon
Micro-tip scissors
3D pop dot adhesives

INSTRUCTIONS:
1.  Cut Sorbet CS (cardstock) 8 1/2" x 7" for card base scoring in half creating a 8 1/2" x 3 1/2" left sided card.
2.  Cut Sorbet die-cut paper into quarters.  Take one quarter and cut in half (will be 1/8th of die-cut paper).
The die-cut paper replaces the Sentimental Wave template.  Distress the edges with Cocoa ink.
3.  Create your flower embellishments by stamping in Cocoa the large flower on Colonial White CS and 3 smaller flowers on Sorbet CS.  Cut out each image.  Layer one small sorbet flower onto the large colonial white flower using pop dots.  Adorn with sparkles.
4.  Using Cocoa ink stamp the argyle pattern onto Colonial White CS.  Cut out and adhere partially underneath the die-cut paper.
5.  Stamp the large flourish and the sentiment (Love You!) in Cocoa.
6.  Embellish with ribbon and additional sparkles as you wish.

Voila!  A perfect card for Valentine's Day!
