Goin' on a date

     After this week I could definitely stand to have a night out with my hubby like this couple.  :-)  A big thanks to all of you who commiserated with me over my computer woes.  :-)
     It's Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge Thursday and this week we have a theme of "Hugs and Kisses".  I can just see these two stealing a few of those after their date.  The image is called "Date" and you can find it right here in Mo's store.
     For my card I used some papers from a new 6 x 6 pad I got in one (yes I said one) of my birthday goodie shopping trips.  The largest DP mat has some Picket Fence Crackle paint smeared around the edges as well as Distress Ink like the rest of the panels.  I also added the Crackle paint to the photo corners on the image.  The roses were cut by hand, rolled and inked.
     Hope you'll join in our fun this week.  We're still running our Guest Designer call this week and next if you want to get your name in the hat for a possible three month term as a Guest Designer for Mo with us.  There's also a $5.00 voucher up for grabs for each 25 entries.
     I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
