Hearts for hearts sake

Well I dont need any excuse to be girly, pink or include hearts so I loved these challenges! This is my first entry in the Anyone for Anya challenge and also in the Secret Crafter Challenge. It is for entry in the Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge #68 the blog can be found here -http://thesecretcraftersaturdaychallenge.blogspot.com



I've included 2 different types of heart paper, 2 different heart punches, an Anya Love stamp and little hearts around the sentiment.

Passion for Promarkers Challenge #36

Im new to Promarkers so my collection is very limited - so I was very happy to be able to take part in this weeks challenge as I have both the colours!! Hehe.

This weeks challenge was to make a card using the colours Pastel Green and Blossom. I really enjoyed making this little card - and I got a chance to practice my shading.

This is my entry:

So im not brilliant at shading and im not familiar with what colours work well together (Any advice greatly appreciated!!) but ok for a first attempt right??!

My next first is taking part in a Challenge - this ones for 2 challenges - over on Passion for Promarkers were the theme was to do a girly card and for Crafty Ribbons. For Crafty Ribbons I have to create two projects using their valentines ribbon. Here is my first project using the stamp above:
