Christmas 2015 has left the building (...well... kinda... I STILL haven't mailed out my cards. :o ) so it's on to my most FAVORITE kind of cards - Valentine's Day cards!! woot!!
I decided to work with this fleepin' adorable image from East Wind called Lovely Winter Couple.
I love the expressiveness of their glances and it just reminded me of my sisters and I frolicking in the winter... so that's who this is going to go to! Probably my youngest sister because she doesn't read my blog (Hi Allison!).
I colored it up with my Spectrum Noir markers (BP1, BP3, BP5, TB1, TB2, TB3, GB7, GB5, GB1, CY1, TN2, TN1, FS4, FS2, FS1) and the background is made by rubbing on three shades of blue gelatos and blending slightly with a wet paintbrush.
I sorta want to just squeeeeeze their little cheeks!
I'm sending my card over to the following challenges:

ReplyDeleteAdorable card. Love your background. TFS
ReplyDeleteFabulous background Becca. love those adorable girls, such acute image and you colored it beautifully.
ReplyDeleteAwww! I'm guessing your sister loved this sweet card! Such adorable images, and you've colored them perfectly too. And they just pop against that incredible background. You've got some serious talent my friend. Each time I stop here, my jaw drops and I get a little envious....wish I could create things like this, but I know I'm not very good at it. I've decided to leave more complicated techniques to the masters - like you. But that way, I get to enjoy other crafter's work! Have a brilliant and joy filled 2016. Bev

I really like how your card turned out and got a kick out of your post. I love the colors you used and how rich the colors are. You did a masterful job of creating a whole scene here and this was a refreshing card to see. Wonderful work and I'm so glad you shared your skills with us for this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!
