I was so lucky to get two awesome images from Make It Crafty to work with, called "Geeky Love" & "Tree of Love". 

I masked the images together to make a scene, and coloured it with Distress Markers.

I made a Map Card suitable for a (young) couple in love, containing some "Mini Love Hearts" (sweet candy) with a cute tag on inside ;)
