Soft Pencil Thursday

This week we were challenged to use any combination of rhinestones, eylets, and/or brads.  The image we got to use this week is a Michu and Michula.  Don't they look so cute cuddling each other?   
 

When I saw the image I knew right away where my rhinestones were going ~ on the dots in that heart!  Although, at first I had planned on putting more rhinestones on, once I started adding them, I thought less was more for this image ~ after all, I didn't want to take away from Michu and Michula.  I did add some extra sparkle to the card by coloring in the heart on the sentiment with some Ruby Slippers Stickles.  I used some paper from the K&Co KaZoo line ~ have I already mentioned how much I love these papers??  The are especially wonderful for Valentine's for all the little ones in your life!

The rest of the DT has some wonderful eye candy to share with you as well, so please stop by and visit them (links are on the left of my blog).  We'd love to have you join in on our challenges over at Paper Craft Planet ~ they are every Saturday and not only do you have a head start on the upcoming challenge (use rhinestones, eyelets and/or brads), you still have until tomorrow night to get in on the current challenge where the lucky winner will receive a $10 voucher to the store.

Have a wonderful day :)
