Sitting Pretty

Yay it's Friday!! I was running out of time to get my Valentine's in the mail, so I had to spend some time last night in my scrap room working away, sigh... This one will be going to Arizona to my grandma. She isn't much for the Iowa winter so she heads south : ) We sure do miss her though and I'm sure this card will make her smile! I used Friday Sketchers #140 (this week's is great too, I'll have to play again later!) All That Scraps has a great Wednesday Challenge: to make a Valentine with no pink or red. There is a tiny bit of red for the roses- but all the other flowers are more orange than they look in the picture. I also used Cute Card Thursday's challenge 151- Hearts & Flowers and Flourishes Timeless Tuesday #104- Button up! I hope you all have a great weekend, thanks for taking the time to look at my card : )

Even though Bailey is only 2 months old, I couldn't stop thinking about her while I was coloring this image. This card is inspired by the Stampin' Sisters in Christ challenge #26 from 1 John 4:10, to make a card letting someone know how much God loves them. It is my prayer that my children never doubt how much they are loved, not only by Patrick and myself, but by God as well. The inside of the card is stamped with "You're such a blessing." My camera battery died before I had taken the inside shot! I used the Friday Sketchers sketch #89, I really love how it turned out. Now that I've learned how to do the feather blending technique with my Copics, I apparently can't stop! The Copic Creations challenge #22 is to use Copics to color embellishments. I colored the rhinestones with YR12, although it doesn't show up well in the picture. I had also colored a button for the middle of the flowers, but it didn't turn out too well, way too pink for my taste, so a brad did the trick : ) The card is red for Crazy 4 Challenges and has bling also for the Our Daily Bread Designs challenge.
