Crafts Galore Encore February 2016

This year seems to be flying by already but the weather doesn't appear to be getting any better. I hope you are all coping well with whatever Mother Nature is throwing at you.
 The first of February means it's time for a new challenge on the Crafts Galore Encore Challenge Blog. Thank you to everyone who joined in with January's challenge. The winners are on the challenge blog 'winner's page'. This is a month long challenge and you can enter up to three times. A full list of rules are on the challenge blog.
Our theme this month is
"Use a Digi or Stamp"
We are being sponsored by the fabulous Sherri Baldy who is offering the three digis that the team have used for the winner. This is a prize worth $12. Sherri's images can be purchased from Sherri's Etsy Store or the My Besties Shop

As it's Valentine's Day this month I chose this cute image for a romantic card with a difference.

I used an X-cut scalloped circle die to create the base with salmon pink textured card. The paper is from an LOTV pad and I added a length of lace around the top. I created the Valentine sentiment on the computer.

This delightful digi of a girl cuddling a Frog Prince is IMG803 and I coloured it with my Copics. I then cut the image out with a scalloped circle before fixing to the card with foam pads.

The flowers were made with the two smallest Tim Holtz Tattered Flowers dies and I added green pearls to the centres. The leaf dies are from Marianne and the butterfly is by Sizzix.
I made a triple bow from seam binding and finished it with a large button.
Now visit the  Crafts Galore Encore challenge blog to see the fabulous projects the team have created with Sherri's images for your inspiration.
I've added my card to the My-Besties Designs Facebook group page and
