I have used a paper from a paper pad by Kaisercraft called XO.  The image is from Stitchy Bear Stamps with some faux stitching adding using Distress Marker - Fired Brick.  I die-cut using a heart shaped die from Spellbinders.  I added three puffy heart stickers from Pebbles.  I also added some lettering to spell LOVE.

Delicious Doodles - Love is in the Air
http://deliciousdoodleschallenge2.blogspot.co.nz/2016/02/love-is-in-air.html

I have used a black card blank.  I embossed a piece of red card using an embossing folder called "More Dots" from Craft Creations.  I added some washi tape over the top.  The image is from Delicious Doodles and has been coloured with copic markers.  I used black cardstock for matting.  I also added a puffy heart from Pebbles.

Tropical Girl

A bit of a tropical feel to this card - partly inspired by the temperatures we are currently experiencing.  Even yesterday when it was overcast all day, it was really humid and muggy.

Glitter n Sparkle - Embossing
http://glitternsparklechallengeblog.blogspot.co.nz/2016/01/challenge-173.html

I have used a white card blank and inked the edges with Distres Stain - Twisted Citron.  I used the same Distress Stain for the matting of the image.  I embossed a piece of white cardstock using an embossing folder and some Distress Ink (Dried Marigold).  The image is from Lacy Sunshine and is coloured with copic markers.  I added a bit of Glossy Accents to her lips to make it look like she is wearing lipgloss!

Glittery Winter Snowflakes

I had an idea for a card floating around in my head - and really wanted to try and create using that idea.  I'm pleased to say that it worked!
