I chose a Valentine's Card for my DH Denny :-)
Here is a close up showing all the pretty shimmer from the Pinata Rich Gold metallic Alcohol Ink.
I especially loved the pretty gold shimmer from the Pinata gold metallic AI.
I added a thin black CS trim on the panel and die cut heart. Before attaching to my card front I splattered diluted Inka Gold..Gold paint, which added a watercolour texture. Then I stamped my PB sentiment using my MISTI and Archival Black ink.
I am so happy with the results. I know Denny will love the results, since he loves my AI backgrounds and non-traditional holiday colors.
Be sure and check out all the gorgeous samples from the CAS Watercolour Design Team and our awesome Guest Designer Michelle (Handmade by Michelle). Enjoy and wishing you all a month celebrating with your loved ones! Hugs....

What a beautiful swirly, swooshy, colorful card! Lots of depth in your alcohol ink background, and I love the shimmer of gold. Nice sentiment. Denny will love this!
ReplyDeleteThe smooshed alcohol inks are so pretty, especially with the gold metallic running through. Love the design with your popped up heart thinly framed with black. The splatters are a perfect finishing touch, Nancy. xx

DeleteWow! great looking card and like the double use you got from an AI / yupo panel. Like that it is different from standard Valentine colors because it could be used anytime for "sending a piece of my heart" type reasons.
