Good morning...I 've got that Beatles song running round and round in my head now...so sorry if it does the same to you...😀
This is my DT make for this fortnight's challenge at Crafty Catz, sponsored by the fabulous
The theme is, as always, Anything Goes.
The added twist, chosen by our lovely Bridget, is
Valentines/ show some love.
Now, I have to confess I'm not a fan of Valentines, too commercialised and too far from the original concept of sending an anonymous card to someone you fancy... but I did enjoy colouring this beautiful image, aptly named Valentine. I used my markers to colour the couple and balloons then created a sunset sky with Distress Inks. It brings back a lovely memory of watching the sunset from a country pub garden, hot air balloons were drifting up from Leeds Castle in the background, a truly magical sight which I'll never forget.
There are some fabulous creations over on the challenge blog so do hop over and check them out.
Thanks for visiting
Chris
