Valentine Thank you!

I normally do not like to do sketches but I just loved the one over at OCC! Here is my take on it:






Thank you Valentine!

I used Gypsy Wanderings for the card base I welded it together with my Gypsy Card size 5X5
Paper from Target
Circle Punch
Heart From Sizzix covered with glossy accents and snow glitter (new Technique)
I handmade the two stick pins using glossy accents and beads
Ek Success Photo Label Punch
Liquid Pearls
Thank you Stamp from Docerela Creations
Tim Holtz Distressed ink Walnut Stain
Bling gems
Martha Stewart Twine Distressed

Entering into:
Cute Card Thursday: Your a Gem

My Creative Time: Valentine

4 Crafty Chicks: Add a pin


DL Art: Red+ Glitter + Thankful


Stamp Scrap and Doodle: Anything Goes

My Sheri Crafts: New (I used a new technique, glossy accents plus snow glitter)

    I like the distressed look on the circles, makes it look 3D. I like the pins. I'm going to have to make some and add to a card.
    WOW all those challenges...makes me think of cooking more than one thing on the stove at a time, makes my head spin...LOL Good Luck with your entries.
