Some challenges ticked off

I haven't done much crafting this week, well none really since Tuesday, due to lots of other things going on.  So I escaped for a couple of hours this morning and hid in craft room.

My first card is very clean and simple  ...
I love this Stempleglede stamp, and she makes gorgeous simple cards.  I matted her onto pink and black card stock, and very bravely stamped the sentiment straight on the card blank ... and that was it!!!
It fits these challenges:
Less is more - pink/black/white
Charisma Cardz - no embellishments
Paper Play- Stamp it out

And my 2nd card is for hubby for Valentines .. I really don't do slushy cards for him!!

 Love these LOTV ickle people, they are adorable!  I coloured the image using my promarkers and them matted it onto blue cardstock.  I used Basic Grey Capella paper, and a doily, and just added some flowers and ribbon.
It fits these challenges:
Passion for Promarkers - brown, blue and white
I love Promarkers - anything goes
Fab n Funky - chocolate and blue
Friday Sketcher - sketch
Lili of the Valley - Romance
Paper play - stamp it out
Totally Papercrafts - friendship
Stampin' for the Weekend - Valentines
Simon Says Stamp - Love is in the air
