Happy Valentines Day! Eiffel Love You Forever Angel!

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

I love creating Valentines...

Today I used one of the Altered Pages wooden angels

to create this cute Eiffel Valentine!

To start remove the wire hanger for easier painting.... save if as it will be reattached in the end. Prime the wooden angel with gesso!

Paint the angel with Pink Glamour Dust Ultra Fine Glitter Paint, let dry. Cut arms and face from Altered Paper Dolls Collage Sheet. Using VersaMark on the arms heat emboss with clear embossing powder, repeat a couple of times (this stiffens the paper). Stamp image of Eiffel Tower on tissue, heat emboss with clear embossing powder and adhere to the angel body.

Attach arm with Tacky Glue

Use Duo to attach Gold Leaf Foil. Adhere face from Altered Paper Dolls Collage Sheet to head. Ten attach Dew Drops to wings and head.

Print "Eiffel love you forever angel" on the printer. Cut and adhere to ribbon.

With the Tacky Glue attach the puff hearts!

Now for an organizing tip.... from my craft room... ribbon storage tips!

I keep a lot of ribbons and lace in plastic bags.

I buy a lot of ribbon by the yard... when you buy by the yard you don't have a mice spool to store the ribbon on. I use binder clips to keep the nice and neat!

I have plastic containers dedicated to my ribbons.

Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages. I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent! Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar. Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them. Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA! You have made your own solvent for literally pennies. You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a HUGE jar on the window sill! Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.
