One Card - Six Challenges!

Not having made a card for a few days, I thought I'd have a go at making one and including it in quite a few challenges.

I've had a few personal challenges of my own the last few days, so this is my first opportunity to make one.

The challenges I'm hoping to enter my card into are:-

1) Creative Card Crew #44 - Valentines

2) A Spoon Full of Sugar #90 - recipe of 1 each of patterned paper, embossing, button & ribbon

3) The Pink Elephant Challenge #53 - Mushy Gushy Valentine

4) Charisma Cardz Blogspot #5 - I Love You

5) Truly Scrumptious Challenge #25 - Sketch, with additional buttons & bows

6) Simon Says Stamps Challenge - Love

This is a wonderful sketch to follow, I really enjoyed making it.

I printed out some valentine papers which I downloaded some time ago, and embossed some plain red cardstock which I had bought from The Paper Mill some time ago.

A few days ago, I bought some thin ribbon from HobbyCraft which has just opened near me, and I used some double sided tape on the back to stick down onto the card.

Instead of the flower on the design, I used a bow, topped with a button, to tie in with one of the challenges.

To finish the card, I used a silver peel off for the sentiment.

The picture on the front of the card is an image of a cavalier king charles spaniel, which looks very much like my dog Sam. 

As I love him loads, I wanted to express it in this valentines card.

Below is the sketch which I followed and the card which I've made.

Thank you for looking! 

Love, Karen xx
