Dream Valley Challenge 50 - Valentine's!

Hiya!

My goodness! Is it that time of year already??? I'm still not straight after Christmas! But yes, it's time to start making those gorgeous cards for your loved ones because Dream Valley has a fab Valentine's challenge :-)

I've been working on trying to make some CAS cards I'm happy with cos I've never quite mastered the technique.... I'm not too disappointed with this one!  I decided to ditch the traditional reds and pinks and try a nice homely brown and cream colour scheme.... What do you think? Does it work?

I finished off the sentiment inside with a little handwritten piece. I tried to match the style of the stamp on the front... Erm, could be better....

And just for those of you who asked for the piccie of me in my pretty dress at my ball a couple of weeks ago..... I'm in the red and my fabulous friend Vicki is in the black and white. I owe her a lot. If it wasn't for Vicki I would still be frumping around, complaining about my weight and never doing anything about it. Thank you, Vicki - Love ya!

Anyway, pop over to Dream Valley and look at all the lovely inspiration from the rest of the DT....

Love 'n' hugs,

One post, two cards....

Hiya!

Hope you are all well!

I've got to make this post a quick one so forgive me if I skip the small talk and some of the details.... If there's anything you want to know, please ask!

I love this image from LOTV - it's called  Big Present. I followed a sketch from Sunday Sketch and Stamp.

Close up:

Sentiment from Sentiments 4 You:

Challenges:

Crafty Ribbons - One for the men/boys

Stampin for the weekend - Colour combo

Sunday sketch and stamp - Fab sketch

My second card uses a poor neglected stamp of mine: Luvvie from Sugar Nellie. The sentiment is Sentiments 4 You again!

I'm not quite happy with this one though.... The colours bled when I coloured and Charlie "helped" me with the 3D gloss.... :-(

I do like the rolled rose though - I used a fabric swatch my sister gave me from where she works. Love it!

Challenges:

CRAFT - Valentines Day

Cards for men - seeing red

Creative inspirations - lots of love

Fab n funky - love is in the air

Paperplay - love letters

Simon says stamp - love is in the air

 Right, I'm off to make a nice warm lunch!  Have a fab day :-)

Love 'n' hugs,
