Lucy's Flower--Valentine/Love

For Valentine's Day this year my wonderful hubby bought me 5 packages of Spectrum Noir pens.  I've been wanting them for a while now but just never felt ready to spend that much money on markers. If your a regular to my blog than you know that I almost always use Crayola and Prisma colored pencils as my coloring medium. So I got to play around with them for my card for this week's challenge at 2 Sisters and I have to say that I LOVE THEM!!! I can't wait to sit down and play with them again and of course I am definitely willing and ready to purchase some more of the sets. Anyway.... this week at 2 Sisters our theme is Valentines/Love.  We are sponsored one final time by The Digi Garden. I love Jacqui's images. They are so adorable and so much fun to play with. What an amazing artist she was.  Jacqui you will be missed. 

  The image I used is called Lucy's Flower. 



To create my card I started with a white card base and covered the front with a blue floral patterned paper.  To the bottom of the card I added a piece of evening surf card stock with a dark blue ribbon added across the center of it.  I added 3 blue Twinkle Goose Bumps to the center of the ribbon.  To the top of the card I cut a piece of vibrant blue card stock and added it to a piece of the evening surf card stock.  I punched the bottom of the evening surf using an eyelet lace border punch.  I colored the iamge and backed it in evening surf and then again in white and added it to one side of the vibrant blue card stock.  I stamped hearts beside the image and colored them in with markers.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

HEARTS
Here is my card using Pussy Cat Luv from Robyn's Fetish. . . . . .

To create my card I started with a red card base and added a piece of striped patterned paper to the bottom.  I punched a strip of white card stock using a heart lace border punch and added a raspberry dotted ribbon to it.  I added that to the top of the striped paper. I colored the image using crayola and prisma colored pencils.  I backed it in red card stock and then again in white.  I added white flowers to the ribbon and added a red heart sticker to the center of the flower and another to the upper corner of the image.  I stamped the sentiment "a lifetime of love" onto white cardstock, backed it in red card stock and then again in white and added it to the bottom of the card.

Floppy Lattes Digital Designs ::All Digital All The Time

For my card I used Roses from Floppy Latte's Digital Designs. I started with a red card base and added an embossed piece of white card stock to it.  I colored the image using crayola and prisma colored pencils and cut it out in an oval.  I backed both the image and the sentiment on red card stock and cut around the image with scallop scissors. To finish the card I added 3 red pearls to the upper corner.
