Hugs and Kisses

Today's card follows the sketch at 'the house that stamps built'
I have rotated it, as I like making horizontal cards. I have glued on 3 rows of lace, stamped 3 hearts top left(unknown stamp), trimmed with pearls. The Penny Black stickeroo was stuck onto card, and then raised with mounting tape. The Hugs and kisses stamp is by Hero Arts
I am also entering the challenge at Penny Black Saturday  to use pearls and lace

Hearts - love - romance!

The template for this lovely romantic card  came from Cardmaking Paradise (see link on my sidebar)
It is a triple heart easel card, and I have edged the cream layers with Distress Ink Antique Linen, and the apricot hearts, which have been embossed in my cuttlebug, with Dried Marigold. I can't remember where I got the pretty roses from, but they suited the project beautifully. Finished of with an organza ribbon bow and a little heart bead which has 'love' on it. I am entering the following challenges.

Kitty Kat

This is the first time I have inked up this stamp that I bought recently (it is a slightly used one) -Kitty Moon from Rubber Stampede.
I stamped it once on white paper, once on yellow paper, and once on pale blue card. I then paper pieced it, and coloured kitty with watercolour pencils. Then added some KindyGlitz to add some sparkle to the stars, and around the scalloped edge. I am entering the following challenges -

Craftroom   - cute and cuddly
Scrapbook Sisters    - anything goes

'Plain Sailing'

Today's card was using the 'case it' sample at
Penny Black Saturday challenge
I have chosen to use a stickeroo from the Vintage Sailing Set. It is layered onto cream card, and then stuck on with mounting tape to the background. I have used ric-rac to cover the colour join, and also inked the edges of the sentiment with red ink.
I would also like to enter at Cards For Men for 'Seeing Red'
and Here Come the Boys 
for favourite song - Sailing, Rod Stewart
