Sketchie Challenge

Hello to my new follower and Thanks to all those who regularly leave comments!

Some of you will know that I am part of a group on a craft forum (Craft Bubble) and we have a regular Dt and Gdt slots (mine is coming up!!!). This week's sketch and theme was set by the lovely Lauren (DT) who set the theme as 'take it as red'. So many different options to choose from! I have already started my oh's valentine card but I know he checks my blog out so that will have to be finished and then posted after V day. Even tho was we walked into Tesco last night he uttered...Oh Crap! as he saw all the stuff for V day. He honestly does not know the date of it! Ho hum..anyway onto this card.

I'm such a sucker for balloons on a card! Sorry about the quality of the pics, it isn't picking up much of the shading on the bear but maybe it's overshadowed by the red!
