It's all about love

Happy Thanksgiving everyone... I am thankful that my family is healthy and happy, and most thankful that I have 4 days in which to practice my craft. Did I tell you that it has become addictive?

The card that I have today is to congratulate one of my co-workers who became engaged over the weekend. And it will be entered in a sketch challenge over at Mojo Monday Sketch #114. The sketch was not a lot of layering but was a clean and simple look. I loved it and it was perfect for this card. I hope you like it.

I started with a stamp of a dozen red roses (we always think of love) from Inkadinkado. I used momento tuxedo black to stamp with. I colored the roses with my Copic markers; R39, R27, Y21 and G21. After coloring with Copic I went over selected parts of the roses with my Spica glitter pens. I love these things. On the stems and the ribbon I also used the Spica. The ribbon is from Hobby Lobby, bought at 50% off, the red roses in the corner were from a very good friend who gave me a load of goodies that would make you scream with excitment. I did. The bling is all from my stash. I do love the bling. I think when you look at this card you will think of love. The shape around the dozen roses was cut with my Cuttlebug and my newest Nesstibilities, I do love Spellbinders and can't wait to get my next set.

Please leave a comment and let me know what you think.
