Hearts and Harelquins for February at PunkyouGirl

Another wee post from me today! It's the start of a new challenge at PunkyouGirl and the theme for February is 'Hearts and Harlequins'. This month we are sponsored by Stitchy Bear Stamps and I have chosen the 'Emo Valentine Fairy' by Teresa Sherman of Delicious Doodles to work with.

We are low on team members just now for various reasons so I've created two inspiration cards for this post.... I did cheat a bit though! Being short on time, I coloured the image with promarkers and coated it in Triple Thick to give a glossy finish - its my favourite thing just now!! And rather than adhere permanently to one card, I used a couple of tiny foam pads (Candi Fix from Craftwork Cards) and I was able to peel the image off and try it out on my second card! I'm sure I'll do another image for the other card when I have the time!

So my first card uses a white with silver foiling card blank from Kanban that I dug out my stash and covered with Fired Brick and Black Soot distress ink using a foam blending tool. I added black pearlescent paper behind the aperture and more Triple Thick to the blackened heart from the centre. I have finally gotten hold of the Martha Stewart Drippy Goo punch which forms the border along the top and I've hand written the sentiment.
For my second card, I have a black 6x6 card with red and black core-dinations. The black square is embossed using a Tim Holtz valentine embossing folder and the red is embossed with the Sizzix Swiss Dots folder. I've wrapped some red raffia (left over from Christmas!) around the card with a large bow and added the image.
I am entering this card into this week's challenge at Delicious Doodles - Love (good or bad!) also -
