Hearts burst out in bloom! Layers of Love Bloom on this piece which can be a card or framed mixed media. I began with our luscious white corrugated paper, a Carefully used Stamp and 'gelpress' image papers.  I rubbed a pale red stamp pad over the corrugated. I wanted lots of layers with textures & interest.  Dew Drop hearts are whimsical. Punchinella (also known as sequin scrap) is a fantastic accent. In total, I had 6 layers of papers and punchinella.  I handwrote Love Blooms Eternal and added it amongst the scrap.  Then I outlined in black pental pen. Supplies include: Ink pads Kai scissors Corrugated paper Carefully used stamp Punchinella Aleenes Glue (or PPA glue ) Dew Drop Hearts Black pen Assorted papers MAKE SURE TO SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER FOR GREAT COUPONS AND PRODUCT PREVIEWS COMING SOON.  See the button on the right sidebar to subscribe.

Hmmmm, where will all this good stuff lead...? Today I have made a giant tag using the new "Tag Pad"  that Altered Pages now carries.  The paper is quality watercolor paper and  I LOVED working with it.    I am going to keep the commentary as short as possible and let the pictures do most of the talking (this should be interesting.)   A detailed supply list is provided and the end of this post.  Background created first with palette knife, gesso and punchinella.    I was too excited and forgot to snap a pic before I began painting.    Picture all of those circles started out white.  ;-)       The color was achieved by using watercolor and then a bit of   white and black acrylic around the edges.   The acrylic was just finger painted on.  This next pic is the back of the tag.    Now, pretty from both sides.  This is vintage text applied ...
