Simply Betty January FB Challenge!

I wanted to share with you a card I made using the fabulous freebie image for the Simply Betty Stamps FB Group Challenge for December! Each month Betty at Simply Betty Stamps allows members of the FB Group to enter a contest using a specific image. This month they changed it up and offered three amazing images at a discounted rate for a limited time to play along and then they all went to regular price. Of course I just had to join in and the price was really good for such fun images! How could you go wrong with playing along!

I actually created a sample for each image and followed their individual challenge too! First up on my sharing today is the card I made using Cupid Betty! The challenge for this sexy image: "Black / White and a touch of Red or pink your choice on your image, paper wise anything goes." I stuck to the black and white for my paper choices and added a bit of red in the bling I used to accent my stunning Cupid.

Next up is Cupid Corinne, I love her whole outfit, it's really flirty and fun, but a bit sporty too. The challenge for this image was "use: Red/ Pink/ White/ Lots of Hearts"

Last, but not least is Cupid Elisabete! I love the darling cloud and design of this image, she is just so sweet! The challenge to play along with was "use: Ribbon, red/pink flowers"

Thank you so much for checking out my creation today, I had so much fun with these challenges this month! I hope you have a great day!
