Always and Forever

Good morning, again!  Hope you've had a good week and you have fun plans for the upcoming weekend!  It's cold and dreary here, but at least we've avoided the freezing rain that was predicted for us this morning. Before I head out for the day, I'm popping in to share my GDT card for the new Elisabeth Bell's World Challenge.  I am thrilled to once again be joining the amazing Digi Bells DT for this challenge.  The theme this time is "vintage valentine".

Here is what I came up with:

My card base and mats are SU Blush Blossom and the patterned papers are from the Pink Paislee London Market 6x6 pack.  I love the vintage style and romantic look of these pretty papers!  My sweet Elisabeth Bell image is Bella Sole Love Letters from Whimsy Stamps.  I was very lucky to have won this stamp last month during the new release blog hops.  I stamped her with Memento Tuxedo Black onto Make it Colour Blending card and colored her with my copics.  I added a bit of Diamond Stickles to the lace on her dress and White Opal Liquid Pearls to her bracelet.  I cut her out and popped her up on foam tape. The sentiment is from Bev Rochester, who generously offered it as a freebie on her blog a year or so ago. I added some beautiful Wild Orchid Crafts roses (Pink Tone Roses EX-00019, Set B and Aqua Open Roses FM-00092) around the frame.  Some vintage-style lace and a few pearls from my stash finished my card.

Here  is a close-up of the image:
