Today, being Saturday, makes it weekly challenge day at Bugaboo's Catch the Bug blog.
The challenge is a colour challenge, with simply yummy colours ...
and I decided to make a Valentine's card, using the image, Deacon - Cupid. This is one of the newly released images from the Bugaboo Store. Isn't he just such a cutie! I love that quiver of arrows!
I used Copics to colour the image, and a variety of red velvet coloured offcust to create the background mats. The main background is actual VELVET embossed patterned paper, and the tag is also diecut from a scrap of velvet embossed patterned paper. I dug these out of the very bottom of my scraps box, and even forgot I had them - they are yonks old and just the perfect size and colour for this challenge! Yippee!
I have sewn beads and sequins onto the diecuts as embellishments, and a couple of flowers on the tag.
There are fabulous prizes up for grabs and you could be the lucky winner if you enter your creation using RED VELVET HUES to the inlinkz on the Catch the Bug blog HERE.
I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges, too ...
