"I Love You"
The background is a collage of Valentine's scraps left over from making last year's card. The letters are cut from patterned paper and stuck on to the background individually using mat Multi-medium, with pieces of lace in behind to highlight the words.
The border is cut from a leftover piece of patterned paper from which I had previously used the inner images; it is raised on foam tape to make a frame around the collage.
The large heart is attached via a jump ring and short length of chain through an eyelet set into the card. The chain is adjusted to length, then a large jump ring attached at the back to act as a stopper.
The finished collage is matted onto red card and has a few heart-shaped red gems added. A labels 28 easel is added to the back to act as a stand for the card.
Ingredients:
Tim Holtz Paper pads: Seasonal, Lost and Found
Graphic45 8" x 8" paper pad: Bird Song
adhesives: Claudine Hellmuth mat multi-medium, foam tape
heart charm, jump rings, chain & eyelet
lace
heart-shaped red gems

ReplyDeleteI really like the Victoriana feel to this one, your like me, it's unusual when there's no stamping, I always feel like I've left something off.
