Goodmorning, today our first Tiddly Inks challenge of 2012 is starting and this week we have a fun new challenge. The theme is Celebrate, so we want to see cards (or other projects) that celebrate special occasions. I really wanted to make a valentines card with this new image Silver valentine from the Tiddly Inks shop. Christy has a new dog Silver and she immediately started drawing a digital stamp doggie for us. I have coloured Silver with my pencils. Her eyes and nose are coloured with a black glaze pen. I made the background with the sentiments on the computer. The red strip of paper is cut with a die from Whiff of Joy, the hearts lace border. I wrapped a black ribbon around it. The flowers are made with the retro flower punches and I added faux stitching on the flowers with a black fineliner and then I curled the leaves with a thin brush. I added a black heart hotfix in the centres of the flower. The branches are punched with a punch from the Floral punches 1 from Nellie Snellen.
The heart in Silvers mouth is coloured with a clear sakura glitter pen.
I also decorated the inside of my card. I used a part of the sentiment background and I printed part of the Silver image above that. I used a red strip on which I have drawn faux stitching with a white gelpen. The little hearts are the leftovers from the whiff of joy die and I adhered them around Silvers head.
