This is the card that I made for the Squigglefly blog challenge. What you needed to do was to use ribbon, glitter and at least one brad. To me glitter means girls stuff and since one of the wonderful new images was Valentines hearts. This one seemed to meet all my desires for the challenge. The image is called Heart Candy , by Betsy LePlatt, who has some really awesome images.
I colored with image with copic markers, and then added some glitter to the plan heart using some glossy accent as the glue. Then I decided the little hearts looked like red hots, so I added some glossy accent to this also.
Next I sponged some pink and purple ink onto the white areas.. because I did not want as much open space.. After that I took a purple and a red copic marker and randomly added dots to the background.
this was layered on red paper and held together by the brads. I then layered designer paper onto some red card stock and wrapped ribbon around the top and the bottom. Then mounted the heart candy at an angle and mounted the whole thing on a white card blank..
So get you an Squigglefly image and play along with this weeks challenge, I cannot wait to see your image.
thanks for stopping by

Debbie,
Cute and adorable card. In grade school - we used to leave those candies for our (secret boyfriends). I love the BG you created too.
