be still my beating heart

Hello Lovelies! How are you today? I'm feeling good - I've been doing this lean in 15 diet for a few days - wow you get to eat so much - I really hope i lose a bit of weight because i think I could live with this way of eating! There is a lot of protein though! I'll let you know how it goes!

I have been playing with more heart images from paperartsy - I made a mega tag - the background was mega fun to make...


I used a variety of white and pink paperartsy fresco paints and brayered it on - then added some paperartsy crackle medium and once dry added more paint - the crackle wasn't quite as anticipated but I love the effect. I also added some small stamps to the background and also bottle top paint rings.


The hearts were stamped on white card and then painted with professor plum fresco paint. I fussy cut them then stamped on them in white snowflake paint and also black archival ink.


Here's a closer view.

I want to enter this tag into the following challenges:

eclecticellapu: love actually

My stamps are not new but seem to have been in the new paperartsy release - not sure how that happened! Maybe I just misread the post - probably!!!

Big Hugs - have a great Wednesday!

    Love the brayered background with added crackle - it may not have done what you expected but it gives great texture! Lovely heart tag.

    A great tag Rachel. The background looks as if you had fun. I bet all those lovely hearts took a long time to cut out. It's a very pretty piece of work. Barbxx
