JAI#103 'Just add Red & White'

Im really starting to like these sketch challenges.  This Challenge comes from the 'Just Add Ink' site and this weeks challenge was to 'Just use Red & White'.  I just LOVE IT..
Speaking of Love this card is just perfect for Valentines day for your one true love..
(He evens likes this one what a miracle)

I choose to use my favourtie red ' Cheery Cobler' and of course whisper white.  I have stamped the image from the vintage voges stamp set in Whisper white ink on the red card and then I played with my dies and came up with the beautiful embossed and stamped flower.  This flower is sitting on top of a window sheet to give the impression that its floating. The outside border is embossed with the polka dot die.  I hope you like it and if I don't get to say it on the 14th FEB

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY EVERYONE

CCMC 186 Sketch Challenge

I had a great deal of fun with this Sketch Challenge from 'Create with Connie & Mary'. The colours (Soft Suede, Cherry Cobler & Not Quite Navy) are not ones that I would normally put together but Im happy with the result.  I finally had the opportunity to pull out my 'Beau Chateau' DSP, I must admit that at first I struggled with how I would use this lovely DSP but just the suttle amount behind the Very Vanilla gave my the result that I was after.

Products Used :-
Stamp Set - 'My Friend', 'En Francais'
Cardstock - Soft Suede, Very Vanilla, Cheery Cobbler, Not Quite Navy, Beau Chateau DSP
Ink - Cherry Cobbler, Not Quite Navy, Soft Suede
