Alpha challenge R for Romantic


Its the letter 'R' and Week 7 of the Alpha Challenge over at The Craft Barn.




The word I chose was 'Romantic'.
Once again the background is a mix of colours and inks, together with  a variety of stencils.
 I added some Alterations die cut hearts, the colour is a bit more intense in real life, they were rubbed over in parts with some coloured wax .


The words stamps are from a Stampers Anonymous set.
The old couple seem to  be enjoying a romantic moment  and look very happy being together, probably after a good number of years. This is a stamp from Flonzcraft.
This I shaded with chalk.


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