TGIF - Happy Valentine's Day

Morning readers,

I've a make to share with you today ... bet you can't guess who it might be for!!! This was the first make but you may have seen, in my Wednesday post, that I mopped up the excess ink and turned it in to an Artist Trading Card - love it when you can make a "twofer" whilst you are playing!

My C6 card

My "smooshed" panel, including
the "mop up" panel on the right

Materials used:

• White, 250gsm, C6 card and envelope
• Card in white and pearlised cream card (I tried pink and I tried red but neither of them looked quite right, and I settled on the buttery cream).
• Using a blending mat and water spray, I smooshed Distress Oxides in kitsch flamingo (pink) and candied apple (red) along with some gold mica powder - to give it a luxurious tint - drying with a heat gun between layers until I was happy with the colour
• Inkadinkado image and sentiment (from mini set 99021) stamped using Versafine Claire inks in nocturne and charming pink

I'll be entering the above make for the following challenges:-

1. Let's Craft and Create - challenge No. 216 - RED, PINK and/or WHITE
2. Daring Cardmakers - Feb challenge - BE MINE (Valentine or Galentine)
3. CASon Friday - challenge No. 302 - VALENTINE
4. My Time To Craft - challenge No. 553 - HEARTS
5. Simply Clean And Simple - Feb challenge - LOVE AND HEARTS

And I had a little inspiration from Shirley Bampton's work ...
