Delicious Doodles - #12 - All Loved Up

It's challenge time again at Delicious Doodles and in a very timely manner, we've chosen "All Loved Up" as our theme. I kept my card a little generic, not adding a sentiment on the outside so that I could actually use this for just about any occassion. I thought it could make a good wedding card, or get well or even just a thinking of you type card. The colors do scream Valentines Day however! I used a simple rose image from Delicious Doodles, then added some coordinating papers from DCWV. A simple border punch from EK Success and a pretty bubbly red ribbon and bow added some dramatic color to finish it off.

Come join our challenge this week - show us what you've created for your Valentine and you just might win some great images from Delicious Doodles.

Copic Marker Scrapbooking - Love Fest

Kathy Zaban has designed another great set for Copic Marker Scrapbooking. It's a Valentine's Day set and so adorable. I picked a couple of them to make these cards, but you can check out all of the design team's inspiration at Making Our Mark. Stop by and check them all out!

I used my Copics (what else?) to color these images. The top card is made with DCWV papers, American Traditions ribbons, and the scallop border punch and sentiment stamp from EK Success. The cupcake card is a tri-fold card with a Cricut cut oval flower cut twice and folded over the edges of the folds. I added a little ribbon and some little glitter pen details to highlight. The inside sentiment stamp is another EK Success one. All the papers on this one were just from my stash of scraps.

I will be entering the "I just love you" card into the following challenges:

Just for me... Create With TLC card

I love working on the design teams that I am currently on - I wouldn't be doing it if I didn't... But I have to admit that occasionally I love working on something "just for me". You know what I mean... when you see a stamp and it is just singing to you, so loud and clear! Well, recently I discovered a site "Create With TLC" and there were sooooo many of her stamps doing just that! Singing to me!!

Paulette is amazingly generous with freebies on her sight and her ability to match her word art sayings and designs with her vintage images is pure talent. I found this adorable bubble image over there and couldn't wait to get a chance to work on a card with it.

I kept the vintage feel as well as keeping it fairly simple in design so that the image would remain center focus. I used a lot of sepia ink to tone all my colors down and in keeping with the vintage feel. The bubbles were so much fun to color (using my Copics of course). I used very light tones of turquoise, violet and yellow to give them the translucent sheen look. I added touches with my glitter pen, then covered them all with glossy accents. The lace has been inked to age it and the cheese cloth torn apart to give just a hint of ragged edges behind the image.

I hope you stop over to Create with TLC and check out all Paulette is doing over there. You won't be disappointed.
