My little piece of Paradise

Thanks for stopping by my blog :) I'm new to blogging, only started at the beginning of January 2014. In that time I have had a lot of fun participating in various challenges and have been inspired by so many of you. I'm new to card making but enjoy it so much. I've been a scrapbooker for many years and card making seemed like the next logical step:)
I hope you enjoy your visit and feel free to leave me a comment or follow my blog. HUGZ :)

Ophelia's Heart by Dilly Beans

Yayyyy it's my first post as a member of the Design Team for Crafting From The Heart and I must say that I'm sooooo excited to be working with these talented ladies!

Our theme for this challenge is "RED", so pop on over and show us your creations using red :)
Remember, the challenge is always Anything Goes with an optional theme, so if you are not using red, that's ok too :)

We have some great prizes from our sponsors for this challenge and they are:
5 Digis

3 Digis

I'm also happy to announce that starting on March 3rd, Crafting From The Heart will be offering challenges on a weekly basis featuring 2 Design Teams on rotating weeks.
That means double the inspiration and a chance to win EVERY week!
So come join the fun :)

The image I have chosen for this challenge is Ophelia's Heart by Dilly Beans.
I just love the sort of "goth meets Nightmare Before Christmas" look that she has about her and thought she would be a fun image on a card.
Because of her "look", I couldn't make her too girly, so I figured red, black and Valentine is the way I would go with her.
I coloured her with Prisma Pencils and heat embossed some die cuts 
Hope you like :)



I also want to take this oppertunity to wish my husband a Happy 14th Anniversary tomorrow :)

Cheers 
Donna xo
