Crafty Gals Corner Challenges - Love is in the Air (Add a Heart)

Hello, crafters! A new challenge has begun over at Crafty Gals Corner Challenges! This fortnight the challenge is: Love is in the Air (Add a Heart)

Our awesome sponsors for this challenge are:

Sparkle N Sprinkle

Prize ~ $15 Gift Certificate

LeAnn's World 101

Prize ~ 3 Digital Images

I absolutely love my image! Here is my card for this challenge, Birdie from LeAnn's World 101 (link above).

This card is a pretty simply made card, and in order to add a heart, I decided to use some heart lace I had in my stash for some time. I love it, but just didn't really know where to use it. But I felt it was perfect for this challenge! I used my Prismacolors to color the image, and some papers I had in my stash.

I hope that you will join in on the challenge! Great sponsors and great prizes to be given!

Thank you for stopping by!

My card is called Winter Bird - Snowman by Bugaboo Stamps. It's a real cute little image! Here is my card:

My card is pretty CAS, but I didn't want to take away from the image. That bird looks quite serious in getting his snowman made! I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut the image and the card base out and colored them up with markers. Then I just kind of decorated around the edge of the card with my gel pen. See? Quite simple, but oh so fun! Now on to our list of designers...and if you get lost, just come on back here!

Now I'd like to share with you my card as inspiration for you (hopefully!). Here it is:

Outside of Card

Card Opened

This card is called a wrap card. And for my card, I used the image Rory's Winter Poinsettia from Lacy Sunshine.  I love this image! She's a real cutie!

I cut out my wrap card using a setting from the library of my Silhouette. So much easier than cutting by hand, for sure! There are dies that can be used, but since I didn't have any like that, this was the way to go for me. I also cut out my image with the SIL and then colored her with a combination of color markers and Prismacolor pencils. The snowflake to the side of her was filled in with glossy accents and diamond glass glitter. I then added a piece of white cardstock to the inside of the card, placed the image on it, and lastly added washi tape to each side of her.

The last thing I did was to make a "belly band" for the outside of the card to simply hold the folds down in place better. I decorated it with a couple of rhinestones, a poinsettia, and washi tape. And she was done!

I hope you enjoyed this card! And please do stop by Crafty Gals and enter our challenges!
