Love is...

Hello friends!
It's the weekend, and time for another Sketch Saturday challenge!
We're sponsored by our friends at Simon Says Stamp this week :)


You could enjoy a whopping $25 shopping spree at their amazing online store if you are our lucky winner this week.

This is my card, I flipped the sketch...


The image of course is 'Wedding Couple' by Lili of the Valley, coloured with my promarkers.
The gorgeous papers were a prize I won just before Christmas on the Sketchy Colors challenge blog. My prize was some yummy 12x12 papers from the Norwegian company 3ndypapir, this collection of double-sided papers is called White Christmas 2011, the top piece is called 'Juleglede', the bottom piece is called 'Julekveld'. The papers in the collection do have a christmas theme, but these 2 weren't screaming out christmassy to me, and I thought they'd look fab on a wedding card.
The sentiment is from Create with TLC, although I split the sentence beneath the 'Love is' bit from one long sentence so that I could fit it onto a circle.
The flowers and leaves were made using punches and adding a crystal to the centre of each flower.

For more beautiful inspiration please go visit the Saturday Girls and our talented GD for February Liesbeth, there's a lovely mix of styles and themes using this weeks sketch,  yes it is a little more challenging than most sketches I make, but I knew these girls would make some stunning examples for you, go see for yourself, they are sure to inspire you to join in our challenge this week.

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:

Lexi's Creations - Love
Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes (with an optional love theme)
I Love Promarkers - Love is in the air
Simon Says Stamp - Love is in the air
Truly Scrumptious - Love & hearts
