Today is a day of lurve at The Pink Elephant! It's time to bring out the hearts and roses and anything romantic you can find in your stash.
I used the amazing sketch at A Spoonful of Sugar, but I'm really cross with myself, because I don't think I've done the sketch justice at all. I may try again with different colours and stamps.
All three stamps - the border squiggle, the open letter and the larger rose design are from a romantic set by Penny Black. I stamped onto cream card and coloured the rose and leaves with Promarkers. The large image was also stamped on to vellum and then the letter and rose was matted on top using foam pads to give depth.
My card is also for the challenges at...
- Creative Card Crew - Valentines
- Tanda Teaser - for a loved one
- C.R.A.F.T. - Valentines
- Fussy and Fancy - Hearts
- Raise the Bar - Hearts
- Stamp Something - love somethings
- Pile it on - Love is in the air.
Phew I think love is definitely in the air looking at how many challenges have a love theme at the moment. Thank you everyone for looking and leaving such amazing comments that always make my day.
Tomorrow at The Pink Elephant we are celebrating our first birthday as a challenge blog and to mark the occasion there's a rather special blog hop happening so hope you'll be able to join us at TPE tomorrow.

Now how, I ask myself, is it possible to be mushy and gushy AND elegant all at the same time?? I don't know, but you've managed to acheive it with this wonderful card Ann.
