Adorable "Girly" Card

I Hope you all are having a pleasant Valentine's Day! 

Today's card is featured over at the Creatalicious Challenge Blog.

Creatalicious Challenges are always anything goes but have an optional

theme, this time the theme is "girly".

This Challenge is sponsored by Colour of Love.

The card was created using the "Rory's Christmas Penguin" digital image from Color of Love.

I had so much fun creating this card, because penguins just make me happy. 

The digital image was colored with Copic Markers.

All of the layers of cardstock are from my stash. 

I distressed several layers of the cardstock with Sapphire Exclusives Ink from Close to my Heart.

The "Thankful" sentiment is from the retired October Stamp of the Month stamp set from Close to my Heart, stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.

I used 3-D Foam Tape, to pop the sentiment up. 

For a little added bling, I added a few Silver Glitter Gems from Close to my Heart.
(Girly)

The inside of the card is a layer of cardstock also distressed with Sapphire Exclusive Ink.

Valentine's Day Card For My Husband...

Today's card was created to gear up for Valentine's Day in less than two short weeks. 

While my husband and I don't do anything super fancy, we do usually exchange small gifts and go out to dinner. 

Here is the card, I created for him:

As you can see, I went with a monochromatic theme compiled of various shades of pink.

I used the typewriter and the Heart Stamp from the "My Type of Note" Stamp Set. 

This stamp set was released at the end of last summer. It is still available to purchase!

I used it in a previous post here>.
I colored in the typewriter image with a few of my favorite pink Copic markers.

The "love you" sentiment stamped in Black ink, is from last month's Stamp of the Month stamp set "Card Captions". 

I know many of you picked it up for just $5. Awesome deal or what?

For the card base, I used Raspberry cardstock. 

I also added a few layers of Ballerina and Pixie cardstock to the mix. 

I used several pieces of patterned paper from the
I Heart Us Paper Packet (pink dots) and Something Fierce Paper Packet (pink pin stripes). 

These are some of our newest collections that came out January 1st. 

I added some Silver Glitter Gems for a bit of sparkle and dimension.

I added some Smoothie ink, to distress the edges of all of the layers.

On the inside of the card, I have a simple White Panel that has also been distressed,
to write my message on.

I entered my card into the following Challenges:
