Contemporary Valentine

Gray, red and white - with the glimmer of Cherry Pie Designer Foils and Charcoal Glitter - create a simple Valentine card for your favorite guy. A few seconds are all you need to add the shimmery red bird and sparkly charcoal circles from the In the Forest and Spots + Dots Design Adhesives.

Gray Whale and Charcoal ColorBox Fluid Chalks instantly create the illusion of depth. You don't even need to mask the background image - just layer the inks and add the bright red bird and hearts!
