Love and Valentine Cards

Happy Thursday everyone!
I have a few very cute cards to share with you today!  This first card I absolutely love!
The image is a Romeo and Juliet digi image that I won from Pixie Dust Studio (she has some absolutely adorable images there!  Check them out.)  I layered the image twice and then colored it in with my colored pencils.  I added some glitter to Juliet's headband, dress and the wings.  The heart I cut from the Cricut Wild Card cartridge and used my eyelet tool to make the holes bigger.
The frame background is cut from the French Manor cartridge.  All the additional cut lines I hid so that it was a solid cut.  I then embossed the white with my Spellbinders Pebbles template.  To give the paper a shimmer, I swiped silver paint over top, added some blue stickles to some of the squares and then added some stitching to the black.
I found the wings cut file online here and cut them out twice, using white glitter paper for the top.  I've been playing around with different paper rose styles and combined a few to come up with the style that I used on these flowers.  I absolutely love them!  I added some clear glitter to the tops so they sparkled!  It's so pretty!  I just love it so so much!
I am entering this card in the following challenges:
    Sketches by Carly #46
    Fantabulous Cricut #90-Rolling In Ribbon
    Pixie Dust Studio #105-Stitching
    Tuesday Throwdown #78-For Someone Special

The second card I want to share is for Valentine's Day.  I decided to switch holidays already... :)
The sketch for this card was so simple that it really stumped me.  I tried several different elements and color combinations and nothing really seemed to work.  After I worked out my roses in the previous card, I loved them so much that I thought they would work out great for this card.  I cut out the heart background from the Paper Lace 2 cartridge and the sentiment from Holiday Cakes.  I put a little strip of ribbon across the top and stuck on the roses!  So beautiful!
I am entering this card in the following challenges:
    Try Stampin on Tuesday #45
    Ladybug Crafts #50-Bingo (I used Ribbon, Flowers, and Die Cuts)
    The Paper Variety-Anything Goes
Thanks for stopping by!!!
