Double D - Hearts

Valentines are some of my favorite cards to make during the year, so doing the Double D challenge today to use hears, is helping me get my stash ready for the special day. I used a stencil by "A Colorful life" for my background done with distress oxide ink. The mouse is from Sweet and Sassy and the sentiment is from Impression Obsessions.. The little added sparkles were a bonus gift sent with my stencil order from ACLD. You can find the details of this challenge here:

CCEE2225 Roses and Pearls.

 The rose is the national flower for the month of June while the pearl is June’s gemstone. Lynn is asking the CCEE Stampers to include both of these beauties on their card for this week’s CCEE Challenge!

This is her final week as challenge hostess, and I hope you will play along and share a wonderful design using the rose and pearls!! Won't they make for beautiful June wedding cards?

I did a little shadow stenciling on this card with two different shades of distress oxide inks. I stamped the rose with a Gina K stamp set, and blended the color on the rose with distress oxide inks as well. I colored the leaves with copic markers. The sentiment is  from a set from Sweet and Sassy, using versafine clair black ink. I added the pearls at the intersection points of the stencil pattern. 

Don't forget to see this fabulous conclusion of June by checking out the roses created by the design
