Morning all and how are you? Did you have that gorgeous weather we had yesterday? It was stunning here - long may it continue although with a bank holiday on the horizon I suspect it won't!!!!
I've been messing around with inks and a heart chipboard piece tonight - this is what I've come up with:
So I started with a chipboard heart and coloured it with weathered wood DI. Then I added various shades of blue DI and spritzed and flicked. then I added some rock candy clear crackle and left it to dry. Once dry I applied torn book print and more DI, stamped the TH Love hear and added the cogs and flowers made from the spellbinder blossom die. The cogs are wooden (crafty emblies) and metallic (docrafts). Finally I added the cherish and the key and the hand dyed ribbon.
I've done this piece for a few challenges:
