This sketch is from the Sketch Saturday Challenge Blog This is a valentine card for my DH - we do not really do much for ourselves on valentines day as its also our daughters birthday - so instead of romance it will be a 16th birthday party!

This lovely sketch comes from the Friday Sketchers and was designed by Jeanette I have used one of my new House Mouse stamps this one is called 'Pop'-ular Fun They are coloured using my letraset tria markers. I then inked the edges and mounted it onto silver card. The sentiment was done in the same ink I used to edge on my letterpress and then again edged with ink and mounted onto silver card. I do not have any border punches as I usually use the craft robo but this time I used my Woodware Paper trimmer to cut the scallops, then my crop-a-dile to punch the holes. I mounted gloss blue behind the holes to make them stand out. The papers all came from the local craft shop and the flower from my stash. Thanks for Looking
