First Card Challenge of 2011

I participated in two blogs this week and it was my first attempt at a double challenge. The first challenge is a card sketch from http://cardabilities.blogspot.com/2011/01/january-5th-sketch-challenge-and.html (sketch above) and the second was a color theme challenge from http://cupcakecraftchallenges.blogspot.com/2011/01/cupcake-123-white-is-white.html where we were asked to make a predominantly white card..which really ended up being quite the challenge!

 I used a white doily for the background shape, glued some black and white damask ribbon to solid white ribbon, used a large black heart to represent the larger rectangular shape, and an I love you sticker with a few rhinestones for the smaller rectangle. I finished it off with three varied sizes of puffy heart embellishments.
 I originally made this card(below) with family being the theme and hints of yellow in it, but after sleeping on it I felt like I need to make a new one. I like the simplicity of the second black and white valentine I did best.(above)
The photo of this card has been altered to a B&W image because I didn't like my use of yellow in it originally
