Detail cut out heart and add to card with pop dots.  Color key with Copics that has been stamped with Burnished Key PreCut Set and die cut with Burnished Key Die. Add to card with pop dots.   Create rolled roses that have been die cut with Spellbinders Bitty Blossoms by using flower shaping tools and then rolling with burgundy paper in the center.  Use glue dots to hold onto base.  Gently bend petals outward with tweezers.  Also shape leaves then add leaves and roses to bottom left corner.  Add Want2Scrap® Pearls to center of roses.  Add Icicle Stickles to rolled roses, roses on design paper and key.  Add Want2Scrap® Pearls to bottom right corner.  Finish by adding bow.
