In Gear for Valentine's Day

This is my third card for the Kraftin' Kimmie Krafty Bowl Challenge which started on Sunday. Over the course of the day, 5 different challenges were issued (see below) and the crafting fun began. I have really enjoyed digging into my Kraftin' Kimmie stamps.

Challenge # 3 is Something Old.

For this card I used the fun image from a set called "Batteries Not Included". This is actually a set that I picked up at a craft yard sale last year. Unfortunately I don't have all the images and sentiments from the set (boo), but for this card I am making use of all the images I do have.

I decided to make a masculine valentine's card (maybe for the hubby - I don't think he reads my blog too often). The paper is My Minds Eye "Love Me". I added a few brads from my stash and Tim Holtz gears that I have had for ages. All "Something Old".


I coloured the image with Copic markers. I decided to make a card without using my glitter. Not sure the hubby's into glitter as much as I am.


 Inside the card I added another cute image from the Batteries not included set. The sentiment is pulled from a My Favorite Things set called "Love You With All My Heart".

  4. This card is so adorable and sophisticated at the same time! I loved how you used a whimsical image, yet you paired it with rich colors and Tim Holtz gears. And wow- you've got some serious coloring skills with the Copics! This card is a great mix of elements and your write-up was equally enjoyable. Don't feel bad-- I don't think my hubby reads my blog too often, either, bless him! I guess it's not their fault that they don't get giddy about glitter like we do! But your hubby is lucky to receive such a wonderful card. Thank you so much for sharing your talents with us here at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge blog!
