I started out thinking it would be great to draw some jewellery for Valentine's Day. Before long, I was looking for a heart shape with a bit of a pattern to it, something a bit different and hopefully interesting. I also wanted to use a nice contrasting background colour. This is what I came up with:
For my Creative Tuesdays 'Valentine' entry I decided to draw and cut out a Celtic heart pendant from silver paper. Then I cut 'rose petals' out of pink tissue paper to use as my background. So the effect I'm aiming for is of a Celtic heart pendant lying on a bed of rose petals.
Happy Valentine's day to you all when it comes! Please stop by the other Creative Tuesday contributions to see what everyone else did.

We have a big snowstorm pending tonight, 20 - 30 cms. I suppose it's our turn, instead of it all being dumped on the weary New Yorkers.

Awwww i just LOVE the sentiment of this. Wow and celtic knotwork is really hard to draw never mind cut out! LOVE your heart shaped petals too....Beautiful :)
Oh this is just beautiful, and totally creative. The tissue hearts just are the perfect background.
Happy Valentines Day.
Very pretty. I love the organic shape to your celtic heart.
This is so sweet. Great job! I'm going to have to start thinking of things other than drawing...this was a beautiful idea!
How pretty! Snow is heading towards me also, eek! stay warm!
Wow, that's really cool! Love how it pops against the strong background.
How delicate and detailed! Wow!
How on earth did you manage those tiny cuts?! Great job!
Wonderful hearts!! Very pretty!
A very nice idea and use of different materials.
I bet that heart was a challenge to cut out! I think you achieved your effect very nicely! I love how adventurous you are with these themes!
Well I do hope you stay warm. It is so cold out there. But you know waht, christine? this so warms my heart? I love how its on a red of roses. truly. So love to see how you've grown in your creative expression. you are getting so clever and bold even. I would never think to show my cut out on tissue paper like that. Excellent idea. Thank you soooo much, for doing this.
What a lovely setting for your heart
Awww... you're ready for Valentine's. I hope you're ready for the snow, too. Good luck. Take care.
Thanks so much for your lovely comments everyone. Mmm, I'm so glad you liked it, yes, I think I am growing bolder, in my art anyway!
Wow--this is awesome! I like your name on the pink heart on the side. Sweet :-)
