Kisses

Hi everyone,

I hope you've had a good week so far. Sorry I haven't been around to visit you all but I've been preoccupied with the Olympics this week and have sadly neglected my blog. 
My plan is to visit you all later today. 

Now on to business...it's Wednesday and that means a new Challenge at
Our lovely Dawn has chosen this week's theme
 Love/Valentine

Here is my response to the challenge with a clean but not-so-simple design.
I spent more time doing this card than if there were several layers but am finally happy with the results.  It was a little tricky adding the digital sentiment placed just right after it was coloured...a little planning beforehand wouldn't have gone amiss.


We have the fabulous Paper Shelter sponsoring us this week.
There is a great prize for the winner so I do hope you can play along.


I've use the very cute digi called Kisses that can be found here.

Card Details:
6x6"square
Coloured with Copics
SB Curved Borders Two
Sentiment from TLC

Entering the following challenges:
That Craft Place Challenge - Valentine
The Squirrel and The Fox Challenge #63 - Love
A Gem of A Challenge #112 - All you need is Love
Catch The Bug Challenge - February - Love
Crafty Calender Challenge - Love is All Around
Digi Galore Challenge - Valentine
My Sheri Crafts #126  - Valentine
Suzy Bee's Bloomin Challenge #15 - Anything Goes

Thanks for stopping by.
hugs,

This is a fabulous card Pat, I love your sweet image and gorgeous curved border. You were brave adding a digital sentiment after colouring - I don't think I would have been that brave!

This is gorgeous, Pat. Cute image and fab colouring (as always!) I know exactly what you mean about the time these sorts of cards take; I've got a card and a set of notecards in my drafts that use the curved borders dies... all backed up and different edges... and they took for-evah!! This is so worth it :-) Donna xx
