Just Magnolia DT - Anything goes with optional Valentine's theme

Morning All!! WOWZER, how cold is it here in the UK this morning?? I've just got in from the school run and the car is showing -5.5 brrrrrrrrr!! Anyway onto a happier and warmer subject and that is today's card which is for our challenge over at Just Magnolia. As it is our first challenge of the month that means our theme is Anything goes but as it is my week to host I chose the option of making a Valentine's card.I've been dying to ink up this little sweetie from the latest collection, hence the reason I chose a Valentine theme lol. I have taken my inspiration for this card from my uber talented teamie, Claudi, thanks Hun. The dps I have used are all Magnolias matted onto coredinations cardstock. The swirls are a doohickey die, the pearls and ribbon are from my stash and the flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.
I decided to bring out the old sewing machine too. I just luv the look of the stitching, wish I wasn't so lazy and brought it out more often hehe. As per usual I have coloured the images in with my Copics and tried a new colour scheme for her hair. The colours I used are E57, E55, E53 and E51, so what do you think? I'll be entering my card into the following challenges :
Addicted to stamps - Summer in winter
Allsorts - One or more hearts
Bling it on - Love is all around
Crafty Sentiments - Punches and/or dies
Divas by design - Anything goes
Little Miss Muffet - Valentines and love
Mad for Markers - New colour combo (hair)
Magnolia-licious - Photo inspiration
One stop craft - stitching
Paper Sundaes - Valentines
Simply Magnolia - Hearts and love
Stamp & Create - Anything goes
Stamptacular Sunday - diamonds or pearls
TOMIC - Valentine and hearts
Truly Scrumptious - Love and hearts
Thanks for stopping by today. Please do pop on over to the Just Magnolia Challenge Blog to see the gorgeous creations by my fellow teamies and then join in the fun with us. Here's wishing you a great weekend and to all my buddies here in the UK just wrap up warm as we're in for a bitterly cold one. Lotsa luv, hugs xxxxx
