Love, such an interesting word with so many different emotional responses to it's utterance and interpretation of what it means. Suffice to say it means different things to different people and the strangest things get done in the name of love.
OK Saturday philosophy lesson over, down to art!Sunday Stamper this week was Love, I could have gone girly romantic (not my natural state but I can do) or do I go a bit grungy (happier)??
Started off with a tag which had white dabber streaked down it and then one of my new Distress Stains - Victorian Velvet put on top (it was well juicy as it was new). Little bit of Aged Mahogany added as well. Tim's music score was stamped on top in Aged Mahogany Distress Ink and a little bit of Black Soot ink round the edges.
I covered some scrap card with Aged Mahogany Distress Stain, stamped the wings in Black Soot Distress Embossing powder. cut them out and added some gunmetal stickles.
Underneath the heart (a PaperArtsy die heavily inked with Fired Brick, Aged Mahogany and Black Soot) is a very old stamp essentially a heart surrounded by text. I stamped on some red distressed card and embossed in clear and then put Black Soot over the top. I added some gunmetal stickles to the plain heart but when it dried it didn't look right hence the large heart to cover up the "design mistake"!The banner at the bottom was from Tim and then I just added the words - my heart is.
So although the look is quite grungy, I'll accept the sentiment is quite girly romantic!
Right busy weekend ahead with family commitments which means not a lot of time for crafting but I'm sure I'll manage to squeeze something in at some time!
