Another Valentine's Day Card

Hello again!  I didn't plan on being back so soon, but I wanted to share a card I made for a couple of challenges I try to do when I can.  I wasn't sure if I'd get a chance to squeeze this one in, but since I did, here I am.  My card is for Sweet Sketch Wednesday #139 (use Elisabeth Bell image), Elisabeth Bell's World January/February Challenge (Valentine's project with lots of hearts) and Tuesday Throwdown #83 (use hearts).

Here is this week's sketch from Arlana:


Here is my card for the challenges:


I started with a card base of SU Certainly Celery and layered with patterned papers from the K & Co. Kelly Panacci Valentine's pad.   My adorable Elisabeth Bell image is A Pen Friend (Belles 'n Whistles).  I stamped her with Memento Tuxedo Black onto Cryogen White and colored her with Copic markers.  I added some Red Stickles to the hearts on her outfit and her earrings.  The pink gingham ribbon and button were from my stash.  Three hearts punched from red glitter paper finished my creation.

Thanks for checking in again!  I always appreciate your visits and kind comments!  See you tomorrow for the new Copic/Promarker Challenge at The Outlawz!
