Challenges

I have been working on some cards for a couple of challenges this week. My first is for Tuesday Morning Sketch Challenge 385.  Here's the sketch:

And here's my card:

I turned the sketch sideways. It just seemed to work better for me that way. The card base is white with a layer of black CS and then a Perfect Plum layer that was stamped with DRS Designs Love silhouette heart in Perfect Plum ink. The greeting was stamped onto white CS with Versafine Black Oynx ink and then a small silhouette heart was added with the same plum ink. The panel behind was stamped with the ribbon heart image in black onyx ink and layered on black CS. The banners were die cut. The white one was stamped with DRS Designs small hanging hearts in plum ink. I added some clear wink of Stella to the small hanging hearts as well as the purple heart. Some milky white rhinestones complete the look.

My second card also uses the Love Silhouette heart, this time as the focal image. This card is for this week's Cupcake Inspiration challenge 389.  Here's the yummy inspiration:

And my card:

I started with a white card base, inked up all the edges with VersaMark ink and heat embossed with silver EP. The Love Silhouette heart was also stamped with VErsaMark ink and heat embossed with silver EP. Once it cooled, I fussy cut it out. The white panel was die cut with a SB nestie die, layered onto black CS and then attached with strong adhesive to the embossed white card base. The silver heart was attached with foam dots. Some silver bling was added to the flower centers. My parents' wedding anniversary is Valentine's Day, so I think this will be their anniversary card.

Thanks for stopping by!
