Valentine Sketch - The Crafty Pad

Good Morning, had a little sprinkling of snow here overnight and it is very cold again, off out shortly to see my youngest son's new house which he moved into with his family on Friday.
Now to my card, this is my second DT card for The Crafty Pad, this week there is a sketch to follow and to combine with Valentine's Day. My image is a digi of Roshell and Eggward by Debbie of The Crafty Pad, I have coloured with copics. The papers are by Making Memories, I added a border strip cut with a fiskers border punch, and I used the punched out hearts to put around the image. The sentiment I found in my stash and I added a ribbon and four heart buttons.

Sweet Dahlia


Managed at last to get a reasonable piccy, so my card today features the lovely Greeting Farm "Dahlia" stamped with Versafine black and clear ep, coloured with Copics and a little Crystal Stickles and I added punched hearts around the image. The backing papers are from Doodlebug and Bo Bunny and a piece of pink pearl paper put through my Cuttlebug. Sentiment by Red Hot Bed and finished with buttons, flower and ribbon. I am entering this card for four challenges:
The Pink Elephant - Polka dots, a bow and pink
Mojo Monday - A sketch

All That Glitters

I made this card a couple of days ago and have since been trying to get some decent light to photograph it, but it looks like this is the best I can get, it has been so dull this week and today it has never got light and has been raining here all day.
Anyway back to the card which is for the challenge at Bah Humbug - Glitter.
I have used a Tilda stamp and coloured with Copics I have put Crystal glitter on the wings and stars. The backing paper is Magnolia and the strip across the middle is Papermania which I have cut with the Lattice Arch border punch. I punched snowflakes in lilac and white glitter paper and also cut a swirl in the same lilac. I added a ribbon and a computer generated sentiment edged with Stickles glitter. I am also entering this for the Just Magnolia challenge which is the sketch I have followed.

The sentiment is stamped in Versacolour Burgandy and put inside a flattened bottle top which I found in my stash. I finished with a ribbon and pearls.
