Happy Valentine's Day to all my friends out there in Blogland. Hope your day is filled with all the love you could ever imagine (and a few chocolates wouldn't be that awful, either. LOL) The Dilly Beaners have made some special Valentines for you all, too. Our Challenge this fortnight is Hearts (just in case you haven't gotten your fill). No shortage of Dilly Beans images with hearts so I'm sure we'll see lots of great stuff. I've tried something new (for me anyway) and done a canvas transfer using Shell's tut in the Mixed Media University Group on the Smeared and Smudged Forum. The image is the adorable #587 Penny's Heart String. After carefully rubbing off the paper, I colored her with Copics and added more of my conversation heart stickers. Love the texture the canvas provides. The background is dabbed with bubble wrap dipped in Distress Ink. I've fashioned the the heart with lace tape and added trim, crocheted flowers, pearls and a little crocheted butterfly, as well. I've wrapped some velvet ric rac around the edge to finish it off. Very sweet and girly, don'tcha think?
I'm entering this in the 613 Avenue Create ATG Challenge (couldn't quite manage the optional Create your Own with this one but still wanted to share.), the Outlawz Twisted Thursday ATG /w optional Add a Flower, TTRCD ATG Feb 11-17, Through the Purple Haze ATG and Papertake Weekly With a Heart.
