Love is all around..

Good morning!  It's challenge time again at Charisma, and this week we are looking for cards with the theme of LOVE.   Be sure to check out all the beautiful creations from the rest of the DT, and hopefully we will get to see your projects too!

No romantic card from me today, instead a special card to show that I care, for someone I hold dear. 


As you can see, I got inky this time with a number of Tim Holtz stamps.  The blue flourish design is stamped with paint, while for the bird I've stamped in black, adding some red to brighten things up.    The background shading is done with DI, with a bit of spatter stamped for added interest.

A bit of black decorative tape and some twine to give it some balance, and a couple of flowers to remind us that spring will soon be here. (Wishful thinking, I'm sure!)

We have two sponsors this week, with some wonderful prizes up for grabs.

PRIZE ONE
 (with a £10 Voucher to their online shop)


 PRIZE TWO

 (with a $10 certificate for the winner)

Thanks so much for visiting, and here's wishing you good luck in the challenge!
