Valentine Roses

Here's another card that I created today. I finally got to watercolor again!! That always makes me happy, and I'm thrilled with how it turned out. A while back I bought a pack of Stampin' Up! DSP, Sending Love, from the Clearance Rack and was finally able to use it, putting a huge smile on my face! :)

Challenges:

• The Daily Dare's Twelve Days of Christmas Challenges: Day 12 (DD12DAYS12), a sketch
• Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge: FTTC99, add flowers to your creation
• Flourishes January Release Challenge: FLLCJAN11, The Colors of Love (use red, pink, and white on your creation)
• The Daily Dare's Twelve Days of Christmas Challenges: Day 10 (DD12DAYS10), something with wings
• Delightful Challenges: buttons
• Paper Sundaes: circles (both my buttons and my rhinestones are circles!)
• Wee Memories: create with twine (I tied hemp twine through my buttons)

Thanks so much for checking out my first Valentine card for the year!!
