Gingerbread Love...

Today's card is one for my daughter Shelley - I always send both girls a card on Valentine's day and usually some choccies too.
The digi image I've used is from The Stamping Boutique.  Isn't she just the cutest?  Her name is Audrey and she is part of a really fab collection of digi images.  I was so lucky to win at Sweet Sketch Wednesday last week and my prize was to choose five fabulous images.  Wow it was a tough decision as they are all gorgeous.  Think Audrey will be appearing on a lot of my cards over the next few weeks.
To create my card I used the sketch over at Friday Sketchers.  Love this sketch and was amazed to find it led me into using something unheard of!  Scissors!!!  Oh my goodness we all get so used to using our die cutting machines that sometimes we forget that a humble pair of scissors can sometimes be just what we need , especially when you just haven't got the right size oval!
As love is in the air almost everywhere this weekend my card is also for the challenges at...
The thing I absolutely love about digis is the way you can resize them to create inners simply and quickly.  Here's the inner to this card.  It's not very detailed but was done super fast and is I think just that bit more special than a blank page.
Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Phew - I think I'd have resized the whole card to make sure I did have the right sized oval. I'm c***p with scissors and could never have cut one as you did.
Fab card and a very sweet image.
