Good day!! If you are looking for the Skipping Stones Design Sketch Tuesday post CLICK HERE, or read this post and then that one (hehe)

It has been such a long time that I have participated in a challenge for fun, so today, I chose the Week 4 sketch challenge at Viva La Verve and Play Date Cafe for some fun today!

The great colors from Play Date Cafe are


It is quite striking combination!
Take a look at the great sketch today at Splitcoast from the Verve forum...Viva La Verve. As well as the sketch challenge from Viva La Verve this week, there is also a monthly theme, Ornaments and Winter Decor. Even though this is a Valentine's Card, these exact colors are Christmas decor in my dining room.

Here is my card...

Card stock: Very Vanilla, Bravo Burgundy, Pacific Point, Crumb Cake (Stampin' Up)
Stamps: Sweet Valentine, Hearts Desire, Hearts On Fire (Verve Stamps)
Ink: Pacific Point, Bravo Burgundy (Stampin' Up)
