Love is in the Air at Tiddly Inks!

Hello!

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend? I didn't manage to get much done on Saturday but on Sunday myself, Anne, Andrea and Jon from LOTV all went to the Craft and Stitch trade show at the NEC in Birmingham for a look around and in the evening it was the British Craft Awards! Sadly we didn't win in our two categories but it was the first time we'd been nominated so it was fantastic just to be there!
Hopefully we'll win next year!

Anywho, on to today's card which is for the 'Love is in the Air' challenge over at Tiddly Inks.


I used the gorgeous 'Catch My Heart' digi which I've had for a while but haven't got round to using yet, so this challenge was perfect. The papers are brand new papers from the 'Heartfelt' pad from LOTV which won't be available on the website until Monday 24th.
The papers behind the image were all cut from the 'Heartfelt' pads with Spellbinders 'Classic Hearts'.
I was going to 'quarter' the card alternating two red and two white hearts but the points of the hearts aren't exactly 90 so it looked little off. I just layered them over each other underneath the image instead and it doesn't look too bad.


I've coloured her in Antique Pink, Apricot, Arctic Blue, Buttercup, Cocoa, Crimson, Dusky Rose, Oatmeal, Poppy, Powder Blue, Tulip Yellow and Walnut Promarkers. I also added some glossy accents to the puddle but it doesn't show up very well in the photo.


I used a sentiment from LOTV's 'Set 29 Vintage Sentiments - Just to Say' which was stamped on to one of the papers from 'Heartfelt' and then layered onto two more.


I added a few Memory Box 'Puffy Clouds' as the top looked a little bare and where cut from the same papers from 'Heartfelt' as the sentiment.

Hope you like it!
