Here is this week's Challenge Sketch provided by 2RedBananas & designed by Jami Bova:

And since Im still in a LOVE kinda mood... here is my take on it :)



So I tried to keep it simple (not typical of me, LOL). My BG is flourish embossed (though not really visible here). The HM image is popped with foam dimensionals. This Stampabilities House Mouse Design image is called: "Paperclip Heart" HMOR1010. The Love Sentiment is also from Stampabilities-HMD.

Images were colored in with Marvy LePlume Markers, CTMH Chalks and StarLite Glitter Gel Markers. Brown BG Paper is textured Bazzill CS and the Red CS is from Making Memories. The circles were cut with Creative Memories templates and scalloped circles with Nesting dies. These were pierced along edges and also popped with foam adhesive. Satin Brown Ribbon and 3 large silver heart brads complete my card.

Thanks for looking & Happy Monday! America

  3. This is a really awesome card. Your coloring is so good. I wish I had a steady enough hand to do something like that. I use watercolor pencils because they're so forgiving - I can just erase the mistakes - but I'm not brave enough to try markers.

  15. Love this card, it's sooo cute. I am always a bit intimidated by bold colours and don't think I have ever used any bright or bold colours on a card, but after seeing this I think that is about to change!!
    Thanks for the inspiration.
