Valentines Day Card - Deconstructing Jen Card Challenge

I have been absolutely itching to color some of the wonderful images by Krista at Saturated Canary. I love the ragamuffins, they are soo adorable! In her newsletter his month she had a super cute freebie image and I fell head over heals in love with her! I knew right away I would have to make a card with her cuteness! While I was browsing some blogs I came across Jen's Blog, The deconstructed Jen. Being new to card challenges, her blog was new to me but it sure looks like it isn't new to lots of other people! Sometimes I feel like I have been living under a rock when it comes to card making!

Anyways, I decided to do the challenge and here is my interpretation of the sketch that was offered!

 I used a variety of items that I had on hand for this card, My Minds Eye Lost and Found Market street for the paper collection with a light kraft cardstock for the card base (6x6). I used some prima pearl bling, some individual flat back pearls, some great buttons and twine, and a Martha Stewart Border punch thrown in for good measure! 

 I added some finishing touches to the image using my At You Spica glitter pens in, chocolate, blossom and pitch black. I also used my Sakura Stardust glitter pen to add highlights to her hair, lips and buttons on her clothes. ( I am still new at this and didn't noticed that I had colored her clothes slightly wrong, nope.. I'm not going to point it out although I am sure you will see it:) )

 I love her little pouty lips! So so cute!

 So dainty and shabby chic! I could have smothered this in vintage lace too! Dang it, I wish I would have thought of that earlier! haha!

I kept the inside very simple this time as I didn't really know what to do with it! In fact I didn't even add the sentiment till about 5 minutes ago because I just couldn't think of something that really fit! But The I Love you will work great no matter who this goes to for Valentine's Day!
