Another Valentine's Day Card

Hi again!  I didn't think I'd be back before tomorrow, but I was able to finish up another card for a couple of challenges, so I thought I'd pop in and load it up! This one is for the Just Us Girls Challenge #122 (sketch challenge) and the Our Creative Corner Challenge (love is in the air and a recipe: use pink, gray and Kraft, have sparkle and include a heart shape). It is also for the Tuesday Throwdown #84 (be my valentine).

Here is the JUGS sketch:


Here is my card for the challenges:


I kept my card pretty simple to let the pretty papers and cute image be the focal point.  I started with a card base of GKD Kraft and layered with patterned papers from the Authentique Uncommon 6x6 pad.  My sweet image is With Love from Mo Manning.  You can find her in Mo's store here.  I printed her on Cryogen White and colored her in the soft colors of the OCC challenge (pink, gray and Kraft).  I added sparkle by glittering up the heart and the pieces of paper around her feet.  The lacy border for the center panel was cut with the Cheery Lynn Francesca border.  That is it - I think I covered all the bases!

Thanks for dropping by again!  I'll be back tomorrow with my DT card for this week's fun Mo's DP2 Challenge.

    Thank you so very much for showing us this truly gorgeous card at Our Creative Corner Challenge, you show off the Pp in all it's glory, but of course your little girl image steals the show.
    I will concur with everyone and praise up your copic colouring, I am not so good so I envy anyone who does it so well.

  6. Carla, I love, love, love this. OMGosh! The colors, the papers with image, the glitter - and oh! - the roses. I'm a sucker for roses and lace. Thanks for the delicious eye candy and creative inspiration.
