This weeks Twisted Sister Challenge is to make a Valentine card but NOT using pink or red. this is not hard with so many gorgeous colours available to us. I made not one but THREE cards for this challenge and this is the first of them - I got carried away colouring! LOL!
I went for this gorgeous shade of blue, which is not showing up well in the photos - don't know why, but have given up and posting it as is the close up photo is truer to colour!. I have used a lot of RAK's with this one, I am trying to use more of the gifts I have been sent - so this really is a card full of "LUV!"
The image is from a Blog Candy that I won from Pauline C.....a year's supply of Penny Black Images aloong with some other gorgeous Candy...thanks Pauline - I do use them and love it, but just don't get to it each week! I have coloured it with chalks and added Kindy Glitz plus a small gem in the centre of each - the gems are from one of my Twisted Sisters, Denna (aka Moonrise)
The DP was won from Steph for being the first to comment on her post (Yay!!) it has been embossed and cut into four, sponged around the edges and layered into plain DP. The ribbon from my SU Demo and friend Ann, the lace in a RAK from my stamping friend Maxine (aka Kiwime). But the sentiment and Windows Slot Punch is mine!!
This was a quick and easy card, I made it waiting for my DD1 to come home from a concert in Sydney...she had gone with the youth Group, overnight and I had to keep myself busy waiting for her to come home...

You have such a touch with the vintage elegant flavor. I love what you did with this layout and I agree it is extra special because its put together with RAKS.
