Love you Larry

Digital Delights is offering the following prize for this week's NO EMBELLISHMENT challenge #46:

For my team's inspirations make sure to stop by the Lollipop Crafts blog.  Since this week's challenge #46 is no embellishments, I thought it would be cool to use my punches for this one.  We were given a couple of images to use for today so I chose to use this cute image called Love you Larry.  Isn't he sweet?!  >.<

I colored him up at my crafty bud, Renate's, and got a chance to use her Prisma colored pencils.  I used reds & blacks for Larry, sorta giving him a gentlemanbug (as opposed to a ladybug) shell.  (hehe)  I also colored in the background with reds and after going over it with some baby oil I used a white Sakura gel pen to add some white dots.  I fussy cut the heart out and then matted it to black cs then fussy cut that out. Love how it looks 3-D, but it's actually not.  (hehe)  Working on those shadows really helps with the illusion.  I used a scrap piece of red & white dotted paper and was pretty stoked that it somewhat matched the inside of the heart.  The other dp is gray and white and was perfect as a subtle backdrop.  I inked up a dollar sentiment stamp in white, stamped on to black cs then embossed with red embossing powder.  Love how the red looks on the black background.  I also matted the black cs to red cs.  Added several punched hearts here and there to break up the red dp and another small one on the sentiment .  I cut out the LOVE sentiment that comes with the image and matted it to a scrap of black cs and put it on top.  I colored that one with R46 (Copic) and dotted it with the same white Sakura gel pen.  So love how it turned out.

Alrighty, I hope you have a chance to play with us this week.  Just link up your project minus embellishments to the challenge post from Monday for a chance to win the $5 voucher from Digital Delights.  Mahalo for stopping by today.  Be sure to come back tomorrow for Lilo's Fun Friday #15.  I hope to share one of my new stamps on a card.  :)

Have a good one!
Hugs,
