love is all around ... mixed media hanging heart

Good morning! May I wish you all a Happy and Healthy New Year! I hope you all had a lovely Christmas.

Today is my first challenge of the New Year and we are looking for VERY VINTAGE at Crafts 4 Eternity.

I've created another Mixed media piece, this time a hanging heart.

I have used an mdf die cut heart as the base. It is quite big, 12 inches high!

I started off by adding some music themed cardstock, which you can just about see peeking through.

I've added lots of layers with distress stains and paint. In the above photo you can see a bit of vintage netting.

The image is by Pion Design. I've added some stamped layers and rub-ons with some Prima decoration. You should be able to see a bit of doily as one of the layers.

I have just used letter stickers for the words, which I just distressed up a bit. 

More netting.

I am entering this in at the following challenges:

• anything goes ~ C.R.A.F.T. Challenge; Crafty Creations; The Pink Elephant 
• use flowers ~ Card & Scrap 
• love is in the air ~ The Artistic Stamper

Thank you for looking.

autumn into winter

Good morning! This week at Everybody Art Challenge, the challenge is kraft.

I have used Graphic 45 ~ Kraft Reflections papers and a little kraft bag to hold my tags.

The adorable image is by Pion Design.

Everything has a generous dusting of Tim Holtz Clear Candy Distress Glitter.

The card is a Prima Paintable which I've coloured with distress inks and distress glitter.

I bought the fences which were just plain wood and I distressed them with distress inks and glitter. Then I decorated them with some die-cut grass and flowers. I die cut the flowers from some manila cardstock which I had coloured with distress inks.

Finished off with a couple of tag, complete with bells, in a pocket and a string of flags covered with buttons.

Thank you for looking.
