For my Valentine Card I wanted to step away from the normal idea.  Using Cheery Lynn's Spooky Tree, I created a Valentine Tree!!  I covered the 'spooky roots' with the Grass Border .  The hearts on the tree were fall outs from Heart Chain Border .  Pretty clever, huh!!  The background of the card was air brushed with Copics  B00.  Sweet Stamps Clara Running was stamped on White Cryogen and colored with Copics then detailed cut.  Clara's balloon is Country Heart Small was stamped with Shades Dye Ink Fuschia Fizz and I applied Judi Kins Diamond Glaze for dimension.  The Cloud was stamped with Shades Dye Ink Montego Bay and I added Glitter  for dimension.  Other Sweet Stamps Product used are: 

The string and Kitty button are from my stash.  The finished size of the card is 4.25" x 5.50".
