Hope you're all ok, not slipping and sliding everywhere and managing to keep warm...or cool, to my friends in Australia! Ouch...bit hot for me over there! Hope you're all ok and that any bush fires stay well away.
Today's card features another Heather Valentin digi...Pickles Caveman Heart which is only available from Heather's Lacy Sunshine store.
Awww...Pickles is all loved up!
I've used my new favourite layout again because I want to enter it into the challenge where the sketch to this layout is the theme. Details below.
I've use the most gorgeous papers from Bearly Mine which I purchased today especially for this card as I wanted Valentine papers but with browns and pinks...and, as you can see, this one was perfect. It's the 'Love Dreams' digi set and the Bearly Mine link is over in my right hand sidebar. They do incredible papers so go and pay them a visit.
I've coloured the image using my Promarkers and have used the following colours:
Forest Green, Bright Green and Lime Green - Pickle's skin
Cool Aqua and Cool Grey 1 - Picke's eyes
Spice, Ginger, Walnut, Cocoa and Sandstone for the little cavefrog outfit
Antique Pink and Baby Pink for Pickle's tongue
Antique Pink, Baby Pink and Blender for the rocks
Cocoa and Sandstone for the tools and rock he's sitting on.
I've done lots of matting and layering using the Bearly Mine papers and Core'dinations Graphic 45 cardstock.
The sentiment was created on my lappy.
The flower was made using some pink patterned scrap paper and green mulberry paper using Marianne dies.
The heart charm and silver heart brads were from my stash.
I feel like my mojo's back now! Yay!
I will be entering this card into the following challenges:
