Let's start with some great examples from the Holley Hobbyists:
Pat Martin created this great valentine and uses both a heart (balloon) from her image and the word love in her card sentiment (as well as the background paper!) This lovely image is Flyin' Foxy from artist Fawn Palmer.
Kecia Waters created this fun card using a new image from artist Cheryl Alger. I just love this polka dot card and the lovely sentiment added. This fun stamp is Sally's Letter. The actual image also includes a cute little bird, so click the link to see the entire image.
Elizabeth Hart made this adorable Valentine. It's using a wonderful stamp from artist Sandra Caldwell called Bearly Lovely. Don't you love the gorgeous color combo. Beautiful work Elizabeth. She has both hearts in her image, heart embellishments as well as the word Love on her card!
