...hello everyone it's CHALLENGE NUMBER 6 over at THAT CRAFT PLACE...
...the theme is called LOVE IS ALL AROUND...
...I have made 2 cards for this Challenge which I hope will inspire you to enter...there is great in store Blog Candy to be won, have fun and give it a go...
...the background paper is from The Printery Collection...this was 2/3 covered with a Texture Fades and put through the Big Shot then embossed with opaque white then i rubbed in Vintage Photo DI to take away the brightness...
...Spun Sugar was used on the edges and randomly all over...
...as were the pretty pink beads & iridescent stars...
...a dash of Red Velvet Glimmer Mist...
...a large brown paper heart was crumpled then a cute red one stuck on top...I made the starburst arrow with thickish wire, the stars are Grunge Board sprayed silver and gold rubbed in and attached by fine wire (so you can place them where you want)...
...now card number 2...
...background paper as above...Frayed Burlap DI rubbed in all over and outer edge of card is Chipped Sapphire...a piece of old Denim and Burlap with Corrugated Card inked in Frayed Burlap, Chipped Sapphire & Spun sugar all stuck down...
...the wooden heart was inked in Spun Sugar then over loaded in iridescent stars...
...the lovely sentiment is from a set of Whimsy Stamps called Time Flies Sentiment Set...
...well I hope you find some inspiration with those 2 cards...I look forward to seeing all your entries...

ReplyDeleteJust love these two hearts Yorkshire Fox. Your paper heart( wonderful idea )makes me think of a leaf falling through time. The glitz and the glam of your second heart is more up-lifting. Well done! Foxy1 xx
