WITH LOVE. Five Challenges.

Hi to you all. I am having such a lovely crafty time today. There are lots of lovely challenges out there, so you just have to enter and try your luck, don't you agree.
I would like to enter this Easel card into the following five challenges.
www.allsortschallenge.blogspot.com  ONE OR MORE HEARTS.
www.stampinfortheweekend.blogspot.com  Challenge #2. EMBOSSING.
www.craftypurplefrogchallenges.blogspot.com  VALENTINES DAY.
www.craftyribbonschallenge.blogspot.com  Challenge #11.  LOVE IS RED AND BLACK.

www.simplycreatetoo.blogspot.com  CHALLENGE #5.  LOVE IS IN THE AIR.

For this I decided tomake an Easel card with a colour combination of Red and Black.The bottom part is all embossed using SWISS DOTS & IN STITCHES embossing folders. I have added four red gemstones to hold the top part up, and there are small white pearls on the embossed border of  LACY SCALLOPED HEART border.
The top has been completed with the same border, a large silver heart with the sentiment disc of WITH LOVE, then edged with red gemstones. I have made the small red flowers with silver card candi in the centres, and to finish it off and red and white bow.
Thank you very much for coming to visit, and if you wish to comment, that would be lovley. Have a lovely evening. Happy crafting.
Love Sandra xxx
