For several years I've found myself signing cards and emails with 'Hugs!" I feel that sending some extra love expands my message to let the reader know how I really feel about them. I never thought I'd say this, but I'm glad a red heart is an emogi I can use when I send a text. I find myself using it at the end of a text message to my hubby and my friends. So the XOXO hugs and kisses message of this card seems appropriate to me. I'm convinced we need to share a lot more love and kindness in this world.
I always think it's fun to make cards about love for Valentine's Day or Anniversaries and such. This one came together so easily. I was inspired by the copper foiled "XOXO" card (from DCWV Copper Luxury). The pink and green floral border inspired the other paper panels. I love those colors on Kraft cards, so I embossed the card front with a retired CTMH hearts embossing folder and lightly rubbed them with a small Smoothie pigment ink. I added lace, half of a 4" doily, twine, and pink enamel dots to finish.
Thank you for visiting! May you have many opportunities to share love!

Hi Vickie! This has all the elements of a true Valentine with the lace, doily, hearts and of course the sweet hugs & kisses in the center. I agree that there can never be enough love and kindness shared in the world, and your card certainly makes me smile. Thanks so much for joining my 'I Heart You' blog challenge and good luck :)
