Digistamps4Joy - Challenge #85 - HEARTS

I'm excited to announce I'm now part of the Digistamps4Joy Design Team!  And today is my very first post.  The theme for the challenge is HEARTS.  Now how perfect is that since Valentine's Day is right around the corner?  The challenge runs from today (Feb.5th) until Tuesday, Feb.18th.  The heart theme can be the whole shape of your card (which is what I did) or hearts incorporated in your card in some way (which I also did - LOL!).  Of course we would LOVE it if you used an image from Digistamps4Joy, but you can use any image you'd like.

A while back I was sent a package of heart shaped cards.  I never do shaped cards and didn't really know what to do with these things.  But when I saw the theme for this challenge....I knew it just had to be...even though it's really out of my comfort zone.  And I also went out of my comfort zone with the image....I never do anything "steampunk" but I saw this image and had to see what I could do with it.  The name of the image is "Heart Geared For You" and it was just released in January 2014.  I colored the image with markers and then went over the key in the middle with gold Stickles.  The bow actually came off a store-bought card that I received a few weeks ago.  Nothing like recycling right?  Here's the final product:


 Come on over and join me at Digistamps4Joy.  I'd love to see you!!!!

I'm entering this into the following challenges:
Thanks for stopping by today.  God bless you!!!!
