Black and Red and White

I have been invited by Jean at Just Scraps to enter their Challenge 2: Black and White and Red all over.  So, I have had a go at a card this afternoon (it is raining) just 'cause I can! It is made using a digi image from Fred.She.Said that I purchased today also! I painted the flowers with my Twinkling H2O's to get a shimmery effect after printing the flower sheet out onto SU Whisper White.  I used my WMS stamps as well  for the circle and a Virve stamp for the sentiment. Added to that was a bit of Making Memories paper, some red and some black card and some white lace. Here it is:


Here is a close up of the flowers and leaves so you can see the shimmer a bit better - they are so pretty:


I did make another card for an anniversary earlier today from another digi image called Jack and Ginger. I coloured this with my SU markers using an aqua pen but now the image seems a little too poorly coloured in! Again I used WMS stamps for the sentiment and backgrounded the white card with a random stamping of hearts and flowers from the SU Sparkles stamp set. So, here it is as well:

Aww - the older couple is so adorable and I think the coloring is just fine. Great job on both of your cards.
