Love to Love

Today I'm sharing a piece of altered art

I made for hubby for Valentines day :D

 I found these wooden hearts (3 on a string)

in a clearance pile for 25p!!!!

 and knew they would be useful

as I had also just purchased this 

Spellbinders "Happy" stamp in the sales :D

 I prepped the hearts by sanding and 

painting with white gesso,

 and then splodging on some acrylic paints.

 Once the paint was dry I stamped the 

"Happy" shrooms with versamark and heat embossed 

with black powder...

 to give a raised image.

 Next I added a tiny amount of colour with promarkers

to highlight the shrooms, being careful as the markers

wanted to react with the embossing

 I stamped my sentiment onto old book page edge paper

 with a Docrafts mini alphabet before gluing in place.

 Extra highlights on the spots with white posca pen.

 I painted around the edges with gold acrylic...

 as well as the shroom heads

For Hubby because he makes me

Happy cos he is such a Fun Guy to Love

:D Enjoy XXX
