Alright, first things first:
found the image on zerochan, link is here: http://www.zerochan.net/292548
I know zero isn't the best site for images, so i hope i haven't stolen anything by accident! i didn't see any signatures or anything on it, so hopefully no harm done. Cuz it really is a beautiful image, and I thought it would be perfect for this challenge. Zakuro-chan, thanks again for the invite!! I feel special :D lol
Really, though, i'm not a big yaoi fan or anything, so it's unusual for me to do something like this, which definitely made it a challenge for me! I had just found this image, though, and thought it would be a perfect base to work with, since it was soo cuute and sweet (in all types of love, my focus is on the sweet and romantic lol!)
I worked very hard to make this a beautiful card, so I hope you all like it!! Started with the linked image, messed with the colors, then added some sparkles and stuff to enhance the light spot and the magical feel, the "chemistry" they give off. Then some extra bits of grass for fun, and the kanji overlay (a brush as well). lastly, I used a lace brush to add the details around the edges, with white and green fading into the corners and border. i really love the effect it makes! and then, of course, the text-- i used some of my favorites: ithornet, baby don't worry, script, laurelscript, forte, and emma-sophia ^____^ they are such beautiful fonts!
