Share some Love


'Share some Love', is our new Challenge over at Fashionable Stamping Challenges. Please pop over for all the details and see what my DT sisters have been making.
This small heart shape  3 x 3 .5 inches was just waiting in my  box for a make over.
After a coat of cream acrylic paint,  I coloured with distress stains, broken china and a bit of picket fence.
To add some texture I used Stampendous  Frantage embossing powders Aged Marine and Aged Gold with a sprinkle of Lavender crushed glass glitter.



The image I framed in the heart ,  is an old favourite stamp from Queens Dresser Drawers. One of my first on-line purchases many years ago.  This is shaded with Distress inks, shabby shutters, victorian velvet and vintage photo.

The trimmings  came from my stash and I coloured the string with weathered wood distress ink.

Challenges that I hope to enter as well are-
C.R.A.F.T. Challenge 191 Valentines Day/Love
Live and Love Crafts  Challenge 7-' Something Old', - the stamp.

Thank you for stopping by, I always appreciate your comments.
