Clearly Delightful

Getting inky again

Well, I had these little images printed and ready to see color and decided to finish them up real so that I had a nice good load of cards to sell.  I have cards that I have sifted through and will eventually put them on Etsy, but I wanted to add some fresh items to the mix too.

All images printed on 90 lb. watercolor paper with a laser printer and watercolored with Tombow markers and a waterbrush.

Card for AIF Challenge 23

Here's another Valentine card and this time for the AIF Challenge 23.  I used "a lovely couple" image by SoftPencil artist, isn't it adorable?  SoftPencil has a bunch of totally cute images, check them out HERE.  I especially like her kitty, Michu and all the cute things he does. (although I still haven't made a card with him yet, eeeee!)

On to the challenge. The challenge is to create something with lots of hearts.  There are hearts all over my BG paper, which is from DCWV Whimsy 8x8 stack, and I used a Martha Stewart heart punch and little heart charm on that.

Now how about some inspiration from AI Factory digital images?  Below is my card and underneath it are a few written steps for achieving the dimension on the image.

• I printed Ella hugging a heart twice and the roses bouquet twice. Colored one of each completely and the second Ella, I only colored her  arms, and the second roses, only colored the 3 roses in the middle.
• Cut out the full rose bouquet and then the 3 middle roses and used foam dots to pop the middle roses up on top.  Then glue the entire bouquet over the heart Ella is holding.
• Cut out Ella's arms from the second image and glued down the tops to the main image and used foam pop up tape under the hands.

RECIPE:

• Image: Love you Ella by AIFactory
• CS/PAPER: watercolor, pink, rose, Basic grey Eva
• INK: Tombow markers 228, 772, 837, 850, 899, 947, 991
• ACCENTS/TOOLS: waterbrush, Nestabilities octagons, circle punches, Provocraft mini scallop flower die, retired SU ribbon, Basic grey pearls, retired SU felt flowers, Su border punch, sewing machine, pop dots, glue dots, 1/4" sheer ribbon

I hope you enjoy your day!
