Another FUN Monday....

  And another Monday I am here to invite you to join me in two brand new challenges!   The first is this week's brand new challenge over at the StampFairy Challenge Blog and this week your challenge is to create a project where you use a Lace & Hearts -- perfect for those Valentine's Day!!   And for another chance to WIN we have a little TWIST and our twist is to not use any Red or Pink on your card!  Do you need some inspiration??  - if so, then hop on over to the Challenge Blog and take a peek at the ideas the Design Team created!  

  This is my card and I, of course, chose a Purple (Plum) shade as my main color and went with a Plum and gray them for my card.

  My sweet Valentine card is also being submitted to these fun challenges, which are open to ALL!

• Teddy Stampers - Challenge # 29 - Love Bears
• Copic Creations - Challenge # 43 - We're Cool (Cool Colors)
• Allsorts Challenge Blog - Week 89 - It Must Be Love, Love, Love! 
• Crafty Sentiments Designs - Use a Bear on your Card 
• Wild Orchid Crafts - Challenge # 16 - Love Is

       I colored Lenny with Copics and then added a layer of 3D Crystal Lacquer to the Heart to give it extra sparkle and shine. I also colored my lace trim, to match the gray by using my Copic ABS.   I  embossed the dark plum cardstock with a heart shaped Cuttlebug embossing folder and then cut two layers of scalloped circles for my background and an extra pop of color!  I think this card will be for Hubby for Valentine's day and think the darker colors make it more masculine!

  I invite you all to join in and want to remind you that you can find ALL the chalelnge details on our blog HERE!  Please note:  Starting this week all entries MUST include a StampFairy image to be eligible for any of the prizes.  You can find a wonderful selection in the store at the link below!
