Love Is In The Air
The challenge over at Simon Says Stamp and Show is to show some LOVE; the Compendium of Curiosities Challenge is ALTERED METAL WITH PAINT, page 48 of the book; and The Artistic Stamper Creative Team's challenge is ALL THINGS LOVE. This week I decided to decorate a heart that I found in my mountain of crafts.
I applied tissue paper to the heart to give some texture, allowed to dry and then applied Stewart Gill paint in bright copper and chestnut. Although you can not see it in this picture due to the light levels, I have added some leafing flakes to the heart too. I cut two hearts from felt and hand stitched them together with copper thread.
I cut a lock from Grungepaper using the Hardware Findings die and coloured using the Industrial Grunge technique (page 54 of the book), added Idea-Ology which has been altered with gold paint. Lace and hand made fabric flowers were added along with a crown for the top of the heart.
To complete, co-ordinated ribbons have been added to the rope handle. Enjoy your week, Tracy x x

Wonderful creation for this time of year, Tracy. I was wondering, is the heart made of metal? Or, am I just a a bit thick today. I like the idea of covering with tissue and painting ....gives it a nice patina...must give it a try.
Have a fab day

Tracy, I look forward every week to seeing what you've created, and as always, you inspired and delighted my eyes! This altered heart is gorgeous! What a cool design, and the combination of fabric and altered metal and die-cut grunge is stunning. It's a romantic and chic and perfect work of art!
