CMC Challenge #34 Entry

I am so excited about this card!! I am absolutely IN LOVE with La-La-Land's Marci & Luka Collection! I love all of these images and am slowly building my collection!

So, with Valentine's just around the corner I have been working on my "love" cards. This one features Sweetheart Marci in a white, pink and black theme.

 I started off by coloring her with my copic markers and die cutting her image with my cuttlebug. Since this die was the largest in this set I knew I had to sponge the edges to really tie her in with the rest of the card or her white background would just be too off and not match nicely with the color theme. But besides that, I love sponging!! I started sponging my Halloween cards and haven't stopped!! So once I got her all fixed up, I worked on my layout. My original thought was to have the black paper as my background, but I really liked the polka-dot paper right behind her and decided to go another way. The pink stripes are a nice contrast to the polka-dot, which I also cut out hearts with (and I had to sponge those too!!).. so after a bit of fiddling, this is how she turned out.

 I decided to finish the inside to match. I thought it would really add to the card.

As the title suggests, this card will be entered into CMC Challenge #34!
