Hearts and Flowers

Oh, it is sooooo cold outside, I just want to stay inside until spring!  They say we've been spoiled, with a couple of mild winters.....well, I think old man winter is making up for that!  For those of you in the same predicament, how about joining us in this week's challenge at Charisma Cardz.  Our theme is Hearts and Flowers....sure to give a warm fuzzy feeling, especially as Valentines Day will soon be here.


This adorable image was provided by Stamp Fairy, one of this week's generous sponsors.  I chose a pink and blue colour combo, thinking nice and bright....sunny and warm!

Once again I've coloured with copics, while the papers are from an older Basic Grey collection....Euphoria.  As my card is 5 x 6 1/2, I wanted the DP to be slightly larger than 6 inches, so I used my Spellbinders Edgebilities die to create a cut/pattern,  I really like the effect, and it shows so well against the burgundy cardstock.  As you can see, I went all out dressing it up.....flowers, ribbon, gems and pearls.

No sentiment yet until I decide who or what it is for.  Although it could be for Valentines, it would also work well for wedding or anniversary.

So, we are really hoping you can join in with this weeks challenge, for your chance to win one of these prizes from our lovely sponsors.
