Couple in love - Anniversary card ideas

I am trying to make a big push with blogging and entering some challenges and I have to say I love Sami Stamps so when I saw that they were hosting a fabulous challenge with a theme of 'Add pearls or Beads' I thought ooh why not have a go and submit an entry, so here it is:

I coloured the image using Letraset promarkers and went with an older couple

I coloured their hair in shades of cool greys and warm grey's

Skin is Blush, Saffron and Pastel Pink

The lady's dress is done with Marsh Green & Olive Green

The gentleman's attire is Grey green for the jumper and then beige on the trousers.

The backings are from my off cuts box and I have cut the pennant shapes out for added detail on the cards. The sentiment is a Woodware stamp set from Truly Inspired Crafts called Jane's Script.

I have added some pearls to finish the card.

Love the digital images by Sami Stamps and I would love to win some new images, so I've got my fingers crossed :)

Thanks for looking 

Hugs

Feeling the love and getting ready for Valentine's Day - Sami Stamps Blog Challenge Entry

Good Evening and I felt like I should be entering more blog challenges and so I decided to start with this one tonight. 

Sami Stamps have a challenge as you can see Use red being the theme.

So I went over and purchased a couple of digital stamps to use ( I have used Sami Stamps before on a Glitter N Sparkle Challenge and I know how great they are)

I decided for this challenge I wanted to start my Valentine's Cards so here is the start of the project.

I have decided to create a neat 6" x 6" card and have used the following items:

Kaiser Crafts Curiosity Paper Pad ( Pin stripe panel)

First Edition J'adore Paper Pad

Now the image I purchased is called On Your Arm

I have coloured the couple with my Promarkers:

Berry & Poppy Red for the Dress

Raw Sienna and Burnt Sienna for the lady's Hair

Blush, Saffron & Pastel Pink for skin on both

Burnt Sienna on His Hair

Black on the suit and Blender pen for effect.

I have matted and layered the backings and 3d foamed the couple on to the card.

I have used a wooden fleur de lis, Black satin ribbon and finished the card off with a 'Love' sentiment ( Art Impressions Stamp) stamped on paper from the First Edition J'adore pad and I have cut to make a pennant shape and again fixed that with foam sticky fixers too.

Sami Stamps have some absolutely stunning digital images for you to purchase and even have a few freebies too.

Fingers crossed the Sami Stamps team will like my design.

Thanks for looking

Hugs
