Tiddly Inks Valentines!

It’s Tuesday and that means we have a new Tiddly Inks Challenge for you today! Today your challenge is to create a Valentine. Easy Peasy I’d have to say especially with all the GORGEOUS new images Christy has been sharing lately!

For my Valentine today I used Wryn and Wren and colored them up with Copics. I used some super cute MME Love Me designer paper and this week’s Sweet Sunday Sketch (SSSC151) for the layout.

I added just a bit of distressing and doodled around the edge of the image with a Sharpie pen. The cute little sentiment is from Paper Smooches and the heart stack is made of Heart Nestablilites that I die cut, I ran the kraft heart through a paper crimper and layered on twine and a button.

Be sure to head over to the Challenge blog to get the details and see the other design team member projects!

Deconstructed Sketch No. 36

Hey there! It’s time for another Deconstructed Sketch, I hope you’re ready. :) I really liked using this week’s sketch and I hope you will too! Here it is:

This Week’s Sketch:

My Sample:

For my sample I used one of Christy’s gorgeous Wryn images called Wryn New Nest. I have actually had her colored up for a while and I colored her without using designer paper as a reference so I spent a little bit of today digging for matching paper and ended up using one of my favorite paper pads… My Mind’s Eye Lost and Found 2 Rosy.

I got pretty lucky with this paper as it matched pretty perfectly. :) I added a sentiment from Verve, it’s one of the Thank You gifts you sometimes get with an order. I added a bit of jute twine, two Prima flowers and a bit of distressing using a distress tool and Tim Holtz Bitty Grunge stamps.

Design Team News:

I’m so sad to say that it’s time to say good bye to our two FANTASTIC guest designers this week. Andrea and Tracey have both reached the end of their term and I can’t even begin to say how happy I have been that they spent the last three months here playing with the sketches. It’s just been amazing and so inspiring to see what they come up with each week. Please, if you have a moment, stop by their blogs and say hi today! Here are their last AMAZING Deconstructed Sketch projects.
