Springtime

 

Friday's here ... :) ... enjoy your weekend

love letter

.. the background of this love letter was stamped with Hero Arts La Letter K5344. A piece of twine ties the small floral heart to the aqua coloured embossed paper securing the two parts of the card together. The embossed page of the card actually opens up, as well, giving three pages for letter writing (the first page being only 3/4 of the size).  The beautiful floral heart and embossed paper are both from Franziska :)

Thanks so much for visiting. Wishing you a wonderful day.

Heart Journal 2012

moments like this:  For the month of April our project was to create a heart using a mixture of gesso and baking soda, spreading the mixture on our heart and heating with a heating tool. The heat causes the mixture to rise and form a skin. I used my Hero Arts stamp Floral Brocade to make an impression. I was a little nervous before starting this project as I was unsure of how successful I would be. At one point my image flattened ... so I tried to use heat again .. and to my surprise .. the skin swelled up again : ) .. then I really started to enjoy what I was doing.  I lightly sanded the image to polish it up a bit. It reminded me of making plaster reliefs ..  it looked a little like plaster ..  however after glazing with several ... well .. many coats of matt medium and teal coloured spritzer, the heart took on the texture of soft leather. This was so much fun! Thank you  Lilibulle! I am looking forward to May!

Thanks so much for visiting. Wishing you a safe and happy weekend.
