Alicia's CAS Valentines

Good morning i was going through my challenge list and writing a few posts for DT work and have a few cards that i havent blogged mainly cards that I did for Facebook challenges.

Now i know not everyone does Facebook and i dont do that much really it is a shame that a few companies have closed their challenge blogs and headed in that direction.

So today as i dont have a DT post have decided to post one of my cards. i think i might do this for a few days or weeks as they are building up.

So today i have this card made with a image from Alicia Bel called Sexy Angel.
I made this for Alicia's facebook challenge which is a mothly challenge.

I coloured the image with my Promarkers

Wings where coloured then Tonic glitter added.

Used my Wavy die to add some interest to the top and kept it CAS

DP is a strip from my oddments box

Ribbon twine and tonic nuvo drops finish the card

The sentiment was computer generated

Well hope you like I think my son might be pinching this as not too lovey dovey

If you do facebook why not head over and checkout the challenge HERE and dont forget to have a peep at the shop she has some awesome images.
