SIMON SAYS STAMP AND SHOW CHALLENGE - ANYTHING GOES

Simon Says Stamp and Show has a challenge every week.
The challenge for this week was Anything Goes.
Here is the link:  http://simonsaysstampandshow.blogspot.com/2012/02/simon-says-stamp-and-show-anything-goes.html

I created a special Valentine Art Piece. 

"Darling Be Mine"

I added an easel stand to the back of it so it can be displayed anywhere.

To create the base for this creation, I covered a 6X6 inch piece of black chipboard with pink paper from Crate Paper.

Then, I created the puffy heart as the focal point for the piece. I used small pieces of Authentique Paper (Free Bird Collections : Blush, Warmth and Delight) to form a collage on top of a tattered heart made from white paper. The collage was then sealed with Golden gel medium.

I inked the edges of the heart with Worn Lipstick distress ink from the Tim Holtz collection

Here is the finished art piece:   "Darling Be Mine"
 

I wanted the piece to have a vintage feel to it so I used a lot of vintage-style embellishments when I created it.

The embellishments were from various sources.

wooden number and heart - Maya Road

chipboard darling, bee and key - Prima 

old fashioned valentine card  - 7 Gypsies

fuchsia ribbon:  Donna Downey for Prima

chipboard letters - Fancy Pants

Eiffel Tower - EK Success

misc. items from my stash:  pearl flower, ribbon, buttons, crown, clothespin and ticket
