I have used the new "loved Up" digi stamp set for my card today, she is so cute and a dream to colour too!!  As always I have coloured my image with promarkers, glossy accents, stickles, DCWV c/s, PM pink parfait papers, MS heart punch, ribbon and charm.  I have made my bow using the "bow easy" template it is a great little gadget and makes tying bows much faster!

I am entering this card in to the following challenges:

Totally Gorjuss week16  I have used their sketch for my card.

 Simon says Stamp "What's love got to do with it".

Charisma Cardz Challenge "I love you".

Creative Card Crew "Valentines".

It is really cold again today, no sign of the "snow" that we are supposed to get, thankfully the showers of hail have come down and melted quickly away!!  Hurry up Spring and some warmer weather!!

Thanks for stopping by today, I do hope you can find time to join in with us at Nutty Nutshells this week!!

Truly Scrumptious Challenge 24 ......

It is time for a new challenge at Truly Scrumptious, this week we have a sketch for you designed by the very talented Nicole with the optional extra of stitching faux or real.  We don't have a sponsor for this challenge so you're playing just for fun, there are some beautiful cards as always from the design team, you can see them here. 

I have used one of the new Miss Anya love collection stamps, coloured with promarkers, sakura staedust pen, papers are the new PM capsule collection aqua, DCWV c/s, ribbon, prearls, flower is a set of sizzix sizzlits  dies, I did make two flowers but as they are quite large I decided to only put one of them on this card.  I have added faux stitching around the white mat with a light grey pen, using a pricking to give a little more depth.

I am entering this card into the following challenge;

Totally Gorjuss challenge 13.  Monotone, any one colour of your choice, I'm hoping this will count as the peeticoats use the same colour as her hair??

Thanks so much for stopping here today, please leave a comment as I love to read them and if I know you have been I can stop by and visit you sometime soon!!

I have used my new Sugar Nellie "litte miss attitude" stamp, coloured with promarkers, stickles stardust glitter glue, nesties, MS valentines punch, papers are DCWV glitter sweet stack, DCWV c/s, sentiment is craftwork cards.

I really like the bright cheerful colours of this card, I have been trying to use more of my stash before I buy any more new stash!!  I have so much that is un-used, un-inked or stamped only once that I have decided to make an effort to something with it all.

Thanks for stopping by,
