Will you be my Valentine? - Aud Sentiments #173

Thursday February 9-20, 2017
 
It's time for a new challenge at Aud Sentiments #173
 
This challenge is VALENTINES/LOVE + SENTIMENT
 

Ok so I am really loving making watercolor backgrounds. I seem to be doing this a lot and love that each comes out so different. Also learning what colors work and what don't, you just end up with a muddy mess. Glad there's two sides to papers.. lol.. I first stamped the sentiment in Lipstick red glitter embossing powder and then used three Ranger inks to create my background. Once it was dry and how I wanted it I noticed the red sentiment did not show very well. So thanks to the MISTI I re-stamped in black and had a little of the glitter show through. I have been waiting to use my crazy dogs from Tim Holtz and thought this would work.  The little bones are like chocolate offerings.. with dog's not being able to eat chocolate this is their offering.. LOL. I added some Simon Says hearts with Spectrum Noir on them and a few drops of Nivo in a couple corners.
