Less than a month, there will be romance in the air, the
day that celebrates love, Valentine’s Day, and that is the inspiration this
week for my project.
I used gesso on the entire heart base, followed by Tim
Holtz Antique Linen Distress paint and both Pickett Fence & Rock Candy
Crackle. I then used script tissue paper, and sheet music, torn in strips,
applied with Matte Modge Podge, and applied at an angle, on both front and
back. Finished with using a “burnishing” kind of effect with Tim Holtz Distress
inks in Frayed Burlap and Victorian Velvet. Finishing with the same type of
burnishing application of the Liquidtex Ink in Brilliant gold.
On the top of the heart I used a fancy bird from my
personal stash, as well as pearl stamens glued as a nest beneath the bird. I
then added from the CWD store, off-white Braided Ribbon wound and glued to the
handle, Lace at both the base of the stamen nest, and just above the dangles at
the bottom of the heart. To the top, I finished with a Antique Brass button,
and the loops of the Pearl Strands.
Finishing touch, using a brass chain, a heart and leaf
charm from my own stash along with Antique Brass Birdcage, Bird & Nest
charms. A fun, lighthearted Valentine project.
The paper mache puffy heart, as well as some of the brass charms, can be found in the Creating With Details online store.
