Red and White

Good morning to you all today hope you are well.  Today sees the start of a new challenge at Delightful Challenges and the theme this week is:

RED AND WHITE

Nice and easy with Valentine's Day just around the corner. although it does not have to be a Valentine project just as long as it is red and white!  Here is what I have done:


The image I have used is:


She has been coloured with my Copics and cut and matted with Spellbinders.  I have used white pearl card for the background and embossed it with Tied Together EF from Couture Creations and then put the red hearts (which were out of the mat I used for Lara) and pearls on.  The bottom half has been embossed with a hearts EF.  The sentiment I used is:


I have used a Nellie Snellen die to cut the heart out and Fired Brick DI to colour it in.  I cut two more hearts out from felt. The ribbon, button and twine are from my stash.

Our sponsor this week is:


and here is a look at the prize the lucky winner will receive:


Please go over to Delightful Challenges and see what the rest of the talented DT have made for some further inspiration. Remember, you don't have to use a Digital Delights image to win but we love to see you using them and if you do you can enter your project twice!!

    This is such a cute card loaded with lovely texture and dimension, not to mention the cute image that you've colored so beautifully. Love that ribbon and heart button! And thank you so much for the kind words on my blog and reminding me of where I found that tip on converting a straight border to a curved one - that's exactly where I found it and I will post credit to her today! Thanks so much!

    Aw this is just so cute Susan - what a great idea using those hearts from the mat!!! - love your layout. Hope you get some good news with poor Louis - it's so hard with animals - if only they could talk, my poor dog has just had a huge operation to repair a cruciate ligament injury and keeping him rested is a big problem - he thinks he's better already! And my 17 year old cat has kidney problems but at 17 he's doing ok and controlling it with diet - it's amazing what these vets can do these days! Hugs Judith x
