Alcohol Markers Challenge - The Outlawz

Hi again!  I'm back tonight with my DT post for this week's Alcohol Markers Challenge at The Outlawz site.  Normally I wouldn't post until tomorrow morning, but I have to go out of town and will be on a plane when I should be posting, so I'm going to go ahead and do it now.  The theme for this week's challenge is "Valentine's Day or Love".  Not very unique this time of year - lol!

Here is my card:


My card base and mats are SU Cherry Cobbler and the patterned papers are from the Carta Bella Beautiful Moments 6x6 pad.  The beautiful image is a digi called Dusty Rose by Joanne Schempp from Sweet Pea Stamps.  I printed her on MiC Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I added some sparkle to the pink hearts with Stickles and I added Buttercup Liquid Pearls to the strand of pearls around her waist.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  A few gold gems from my stash finished my card.
 
Here is a close-up of the image:


Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to visit the Alcohol Markers Challenge and check out the fantastic creations from my teammies, Penny, Dawn and Linda.  We hope you will play along!  We have a new sponsor for the month of February.  Samantha Ratliff of Sami's Stamps is offering a $12 GC to her shop to one lucky participant in this month's challenges. 


I am entering my card in the following challenges:
Sweet Pea Stampers (Valentine's Day/love)
One Sweet Challenge (love)
The Corrosive Challenge #192 (feel the love)
Crafts and Me Challenge #145 (photo inspiration)
Crafty Little Fairies (love)
Cute Card Thursday #307 (lots of love)
A Creative Romance (love)

Here is the Crafts and Me inspiration photo:


Enjoy the rest of the week and weekend.  I will be around to visit whenever I find myself with internet access, but it may be very sporadic until I get home Sunday.
