CAS Watercolour February 2017 Love Challenge

It is already time for our CAS Watercolour February Challenge: Love.  Just in time for Valentine's Day,  but a wonderful challenge for many occasions.

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.

These are not your normal Valentine's Day colors,  but I could not resist using this beautiful Alcohol Ink background I made using the Smooshed on foil technique.  Here is Loll's video on Alcohol Inks with Yupo Paper.  I followed Loll's steps exactly.

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....
