Oh I just love these digs, there is something about colouring the female form :) :) This digi is called Lust 1. For this weeks DT creation I have to admit my head went into a strange mode and I came up with an idea but did ask Ike first if I could go ahead with it. Please don't be offended - but if you are blame Ike for saying yes hahahahahaha. Most folks make Valentine's cards for Valentine's Day but I made so many last year I really did not feel like making another one. Plus, I had just finished my jar of coffee which was rather a nice shape and wanted to use it for a project. If you look closely you will see what I filled the jar with, not the usual chocolates!!!!!!!!!!!!
I coloured the digi and placed it on a gradient background before printing. The jar lid was covered in red paper which has a lovely embossed texture and the digi placed on top. Next I finished off the sides of the digi with a couple of gold line stickers and some black lace top and bottom. Got to have red and black at Valentine's :) :) :) :) The top of the lid also needed some attention so I cut out a scalloped circle which was red card on one side and the same red paper I covered the jar lid on the upper side. For a bit of bling I added a red foam heart and some black lace behind to help it stand up better!!!!!!!!!!
I was in a bit of a quandary with the sentiment, part of me wanted something raunchy but the sensible side of me was saying enough is enough. The sensible side won and I went with a simple sentiment (mainly in case some kids accidentally come across this blog post - better safe than sorry) - better safe than sorry - where have I heard that before, bit like put a sock on it hahahahahahaha First I printed the simple sentiment then used the Cherry Lyn Heart To Heart Doily die which is really beautiful, only the centre section to start with to cut it out. I then used the same die for the cut out heart surround, these I attached both hearts together with ribbon.
