Spice It Up - Crafty Creations Challenge

 Hi ya everyone!
  This week at Crafty Creations we are challenging you to add a bit of spice to your life and warm things up!  Either with a project with coffee or hot chocolate or spice things up with a spicy color or how about a spicy food or maybe some hot embossing??  I decided to use my new Tim Holtz inks!  I love the Spiced Marmalade and used that and Fire Brick red to color the heart in this adorable Tiddly Inks character called All My Heart which is a Lilly Bean character.  I took an ink dauber and followed the tutorial from Tim Holtz found here.  I then took my water brush and painted the image using this technique.

 My paper is not good enough for this and I'm back to the drawing board to find a paper that I can print on and use my inks.  I paper pieced the large heart after coloring it.  I cut Lilly using my nestables ignoring the heart since I was placing the inked one on top.  I took a straight edge and carefully cut Lilly's arm out and then nestled the heart underneath.

 I then used My Mind's Eye paper to coordinate.  I stamped the sentiment Happy Valentine's Day with my embossing ink and then used a red glittery embossing powder and heat embossed.  I then inked the edges with Spiced Marmalade.  Please join us and let's get out of the winter blues by heating things up at Crafty Creations!
