DD #38 and SC #072/13 : STAMPIN' UP!'S BORDERING ON ROMANCE

I have had a lovely weekend in my craft room, and have really enjoyed playing along with some challenges that I've been neglecting.

Dynamic Duos has this colour challenge for the week:





As we're nearing Valentine's Day, Sunny Challenges & Creations have set a theme of "love", which I decided was a perfect complement to the colour challenge I was working with.


Here's the card I am entering in both challenges (and yes, the edges are distressed, not just tatty!):




Stamps: Bordering on Romance, Itty Bitty Banners, Sweet Essentials
Card: Real Red smooth and Core'dinations, Whisper White
Ink: Real Red stampin' pad and marker, Pretty in Pink stampin' pad and marker, Crumb Cake stampin' pad and marker, Jet Black Staz-on inkpad
Other: Window Frames framelits, Word Window punch, Bitty Banners framelits, Large Scallop Edgelits, Delicate Designs embossing folder, Pretty in Pink Scallop Dots ribbon, Pretty in Pink satin ribbon (retired), Basic Pearls, sponge dauber, Stampin' Distress tool, Lacy Brocade embossing folder, sanding block, Beautiful Wings embosslits, glue dots
 
 
Come back tomorrow, and I'll have another card to share with you.  I've been quite productive, and have a few cards to put on my blog in the coming week!
