Tiddly Inks Challenge #51 - Manly Men

 This week's Tiddly Inks Challenge #51 has it raining men... well, at least cards for the men in your life.  So keeping that in mind, I made a very special card for the man in my life. 

One of our favorite songs is "You & I" by Michael Bublé, so it seemed only appropriate to use the new image, You & I for this card.  I printed some of the lyrics using MS Word, & inked up the sentiment to have it blend better with the K & Company paper I have chosen.  The floral image on the paper was actually accented by further deepening shadows, using YG91 Copic Marker.  Adding yet another dimension to the flower, I added glossy accents to the curls of the petals & pearls to the center.  Lifting parts of the leaves for the floral to seem as though it's in front of the words & ribbon.  Finally, I accented the entire page with a glitter marker (even on small areas of her dress) & inked the image with the same Distress Ink, Old Paper.

I'm really thrilled with how this card came together.  You see, it's true what they say that if you do what it is that you have passion for, it will show.  I know it shows in this card.

And on another note, I will be participating this weekend in the OWH (Operation Write Home) Memorial Weekend Blog Hop.  (See top of my blog for a link) It starts Saturday at 10 a.m. EST, so I hope you will stop by & join in on the fun.  I will also be giving away some Blog Candy to one lucky commenter of that blog post.  (Details on the blog candy will be posted tomorrow!)

C-ya then!

Happy Cr8'ing!
