A bit lovey dovey!

Hello there! Happy Thursday!

I hope you are keeping well! Well, I've had such a busy week so far....I am involved with a big new project at work which is very exciting, but also quite full on...I can't wait until the weekend!

So in order to destress a little this evening, I decided it was time to do some crafting!

There is a fab new sketch to play with at Sweet Sketch Wednesday this week....

 

 

Isn't it cute??

 

 To go with such a cute sketch and all the fab Valentine inspired challenges that are around at the moment I decided to go with a Valentine's themed card......

 

 

Hmmm...now I'm not entirely sure about this card...I think its the colour combo...I think the outside border needed to be a darker purple colour. But I didn't have any large sheets of dark purple paper and so that is actually coloured with my Promarkers...and it didn't come out as dark as I thought it would! However, I think I get Brownie Points for being creative! Hee, hee!!

 

I've stamped my image and cute sentiment, and coloured the image with my Promarkers. I have cut the large heart out of paper and then punched the smaller hearts. I have added a little sparkle to them with my Stickles.

 

I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:

Making a Scene!

Hi there!! First day of the week gone already!

So, I got iced in at home today...luckily I had my work laptop with me and so I was able to work from home. The road outside my house was basically an ice skating rink...I could have charged people to have a go!!

Sooo....those fab Cupcake Craft Challenge ladies have an awesome challenge for us this week...they want us to create a scene...how cool! If you need some inspiration pop over to their blog and see the gorgeous DT cards that have been created....

I decided to combine an old faithful stamp with something a little floral....

 

Normally the pretty lady is enjoying her cup of tea at the table on her own, today I decided she needed some pretty flowers to make her smile some more (although if you ask me she looks like she's really enjoying that cup of tea!!).

 

I've stamped both images and coloured them with my Promarkers. You'll notice that my colour palette is slightly limited in this card...thats because Love to Create has asked us to share our favourite three colours with them. Everyone knows that I LOVE purple...but I also like a bit of pink....but today I decided to shun my inner girlieness and go with purple, green and blue for my favourite colours (if I was allowed a fourth I'd definitly add pink in!!). I think these three colours all work so well together.

 

As well as the two challenge blogs already mentioned I'd also like to enter this card over at:
