Two for One for Love

      Welcome to another fortnightly challenge at QKR Stampede!  As usual, our theme is "Anything Goes" but, since it's February, I've focused on Love and Valentine's Day.  In fact, I've actually done two DT cards for this challenge.  One celebrates an Anniversary and the other celebrates the search for a Valentine.

     Let's start with the Anniversary.  I used a cute QKR image called "Watching Together."  I used my ProMarkers to color the image, then cut it with a fancy framing die from Spellbinders.  The red, gingham-check dp (behind the image and behind the sentiment) is from a Lawn Fawn stack and was cut with another Spellbinders die.  The sentiment was printed and cut with an Avery Elle die.  The satin ribbon and hand-tied bow came from the box of ribbon scraps.  Everything was mounted onto a pale pink card base.


     Challenges:

     My second card is silly and pokes fun at the seeming desperation of some people for having someone (anyone!) as a partner rather than being 'single' on Valentine's Day.  lol

     The QKR Stampede image is called "All Tied Up."  Again, I colored with ProMarkers, then cut the image with a die from Memory Box.  The background dp on this card is also from a Lawn Fawn stack. Both sentiments were printed and then cut with Avery Elle dies.  No embellishments since I wanted it to be a masculine card.


     Challenges:

     We hope you'll come and play in our challenge this fortnight.  In the meantime, Happy Crafting.  NanaConnie
