WAGS N' WHISKERS AND MOTIVET CHALLENGES









Good morning everyone....

It's time to get back in the swing of things with the Wags N' Whiskers Challenge after our little holiday break.

This weeks challenge is a "Valentine Card.....with no red"!! I love this challenge because red and is not one of my favorite colours.

The gorgeous image I have chosen for my card is "He Loves Me".


I embossed the image with black and painted it with Tombows. I added glitter to her wings. The borders are done with my MS punch and the flowers are made with a small MCGill daisy punch. the flower centers are flat backed pearls. Both DP's are from Darcie's.

The Diva's have created some absolutely gorgeous cards this week so pop on over to the Wags N' Whiskers Blog for some wonderful inspiration.
I hope you will have time to play along with us this week and be sure to use a Wags N' Whiskers image on your card to be eligble to win this weeks fabulous prize.





















This week at the Motivet Challenge
there is another fabulous sketch for
us to follow.








The adorable image I am using for my card is "Lucy"....isn't she just the sweetest!!



I embossed the image with black and painted it with Tombows. The circles are cut with my nesties and embossed with a CB folder. The center border is done with my MS loop punch and the flowers are punched with my MS Hydrangea punch. I used some flat backed pearls for the flower centers. The papers are from Basic Grey Wisteria paper pack.

There are some beautiful cards over at the Motivet Inpirational Blog created by the DT so be sure to go on over and have a look. Make sure you use a Motivet image on your card to qualify for a chance to win some wonderful prizes.

Have a great day and Thanks so much for stopping by...

Karen, I love both of your cards! WnW is sooo gorgeous with those beautiful colors and your wonderful coloring skills! The little daisies are fabulous and love the heart punched border. I ended up breaking my first punch and had to get another one the other day. WHEW! :) Glad they had some at this time of year! Your Motivet card is absolutely adorable! I really like how you used your loopy punch and the double ribbon. And again, your coloring is beautiful! Have a wonderful weekend! hugs!
