Card List....

I've taken note from Kate Edwards (blame her too for the start of blogging!)

I have made a list of dates I need cards making for, for the whole year..  in the hope that I manage to get a years worth of cards made and posted in time..

So below is my Valentine card ready for hubby..

The image is from Delicious Doodles.

I used all the grey Pro Markers with a touch of red on the rose, ring and tattoo.

layered on red card from my stash and some backing papers from a paper pad I now cant find!..

coloured a peel off red and balanced it off with 3 red gems from my stash.

I'd like to enter it in the following
