   3. On Basic White cardstock, stamp the heart once each using the following color inks – Blushing Bride, Pool Party, So Saffron, Granny Apple Green and Highland Heather. (The sample uses the heart that fits with the “Luv U” outline stamp)  Die cut these hearts using the Sweet Hearts Die.
   4. Tape the hearts along the top edge of the DSP starting at the left edge.  Hearts are touching, but not overlapping. 
   5. Using Real Red ink stamp the “Happy Valentine’s Day” onto the small Basic White Strip and adhere this to the Real Red layer.
   6. Tie Real Red organdy ribbon into a bow around the DSP.
   7. Tape the DSP to the Real Red layer, and tape this to the card, leaving enough space at the bottom for the greeting.
