Sharing the Love for Try It On Tuesday

The New Challenge Theme over at

Try It On Tuesday is Share The Love

I'm not a Valentine type person so went

for a simple Love You card that I can

 give to someone special.

I played with my favourite Visible Image

Creative Chaos Stamp Set and enjoyed going grungy.

I started with my background smooching

with Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Hickory Smoke.

Added some grunge stamping from STAMPlorations

and then painted down one side with 

diluted black gesso.

Heat embossing first with Zing Charcoal

then that gorgeous flower with Ranger Black.

Did the same again on watercolour paper

that had been inked with Lindy's Powders and Brusho's.

Attached the popped flower after I

added Nuvo Glitter in red.

Flicked some ink and coloured some of the

circles with Liquid Pearls.

Sentiment is from Altenew.

Corner rounded one side and attached to

basic white card stock.

Here's a close up.

I'm not sure if this is CAS enough for the

CAS Watercolour Challenge but no harm

in adding to the Gallery for the red and black theme,

and most of all I had 'fun' making it.

Thanks for dropping in to check my card out.

Love reading your comments.

Till next time Cherrio from
