The Paper Shelter Challenge #190 Recycle

The Paper Shelter's challenge
this week is asking everyone to use something 
on their card that is recycled.

This should be easy right?
WRONG! I had a hard time with this challenge....
I chose to rip apart a gift bag I had
that had glittered hearts on it.

I thought it was perfect because it is
also almost Valentine's Day 
and well I needed some hearts!

I also chose to use the adorable image
Valentina, which you can find here!

It took me 3 tries to ink this image,
my pens were being stubborn and 
would blob all over her face.....
in fact this one had a blob 
right in the nose area, but
after the third try I was 
determined to make this one work!


Isn't she cute? Aside from the stubborn
markers, I had fun inking this one up.
