Masculine Valentines

These are my creations for my first Magnolia card swap. I joined the Magnalicious group @ yahoo a few months ago because I saw and fell in love with Tilda and Edwin. I continue to find my way around the databases and files. There are a few activities I would like to try. With this being the month before Valentines Day, I decided to try my hand at a more masculine card that I can give to my husband. He is so not into pink and flowery. This CAS card should be more his style. The second one will work for any friend as I just put a "Be Mine" sentiment on it.

 
 
 
These cards were made using the exact same supplies and taken in the exact same lighting. I don't know why the coloring is different. The top picture is probably more accurate colorwise. The DP is just some from my stash that I have had for years. I colored the red jewels with a copic. The hearts were made with a punch from Creative Memories. I used Christmas Red Stickles around the die and heart.  I printed the sentiment using Word before I punched it. I used Mini Tilda with Heart and colored her with copics. Its a pretty simple card that speaks for itself.
 
Here are the challenges that I found to enter:
