My Hubby Is My Knight in Shining Armor!

So...how fitting is this darling Dragon from Dustin Pike! Once I saw it I knew I was going to use it for my Hubby's card! I dressed it up for Valentine's day with a few sentiments from the Cutting Cafe, one on his banner and one on his shield...and the L O V E across the top!

I colored this card with Prismacolors, some paper from my stash, I just love the purple paper...and the green, has a faint heart pattern on it. I don't count the shiny spots as bling....they are metal dots and I refer to them as "studs" since this is a "manly" card....LOL...My DD did not agree with me... The studs are blue and silver. I popped the "love" and the other sentiments up with foam glue dots.

Overall I like how it turned out, I feel like it is a fun and playful card. Kinda like us!

Love to hear what you think about it too! My comment like is above the post....

Hope You all had the chance to spend Valentine's Day with the ones you Love!

I knew I wanted to do something with this image from Digital Delights when I saw it...I just wasn't sure what! So after printing it out and looking at it for 2 days, I decided on this background paper. Well if you can call it paper...it feels like a thin felt...but it had these great Silver Swirls on it that I loves for this image of Loving Cupid.

After I decide on the paper the rest was easy....I colored the image, added these great little conversation hearts form the Cutting Cafe...layered them on a mat sliver square, then light blue, then a shiny/mirror silver. I tied a ribbon/cord around the middle one and added a tiny little heart charm to it...I really like that! I knotted some more of the ribbon/cord and sandwiched it between the tiles for the conversation hearts...some stickles on the arrow, some shimmerz on his wings...a touch of bling and there you have it!

I like the non-traditional colors for this card....Do you? Let me hear your thoughts....a comment link is above the photo!!

It's Challenge Time!
Challenge 3 at Sew Many Challenges is a color challenge...
Red, Black & Silver! I love this color combination!!


This week's challenge is sponsored by The Cutting Cafe.
The cutting cafe blinkie
The winner will receive 3 stamp sets of your choice! Very Cool, don't you think?!?!?


For this challenge I combined a Sew Many Cards image, Eris with a Cutting Cafe Image, Truly...Madly...Deeply.... I love both the images, Best Part, there is a song by Savage Garden, Truly Madly Deeply, which is "our song"....so this was perfect for me!!

The hardest part I faced with this challenge was my background paper...I had a paper in mind, but it was black and white....I wanted to try only using black and red for the back ground! So I punched the edge of the paper for some detail, embellished around the punch and added the silver ribbon. I popped up the cheeks and trunk on Eris for a little depth and painted her toes to show off her little sassy attitude! LOL

Eris ~ Sew Many Cards
Sentiment ~ Cutting Cafe
Coloring ~ Prismacolor and Gamsol
Punch ~ Martha Stewart, it cuts and embosses
