Hearts burst out in bloom! Layers of Love Bloom on this piece which can be a card or framed mixed media. I began with our luscious white corrugated paper, a Carefully used Stamp and 'gelpress' image papers.  I rubbed a pale red stamp pad over the corrugated. I wanted lots of layers with textures & interest.  Dew Drop hearts are whimsical. Punchinella (also known as sequin scrap) is a fantastic accent. In total, I had 6 layers of papers and punchinella.  I handwrote Love Blooms Eternal and added it amongst the scrap.  Then I outlined in black pental pen. Supplies include: Ink pads Kai scissors Corrugated paper Carefully used stamp Punchinella Aleenes Glue (or PPA glue ) Dew Drop Hearts Black pen Assorted papers MAKE SURE TO SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER FOR GREAT COUPONS AND PRODUCT PREVIEWS COMING SOON.  See the button on the right sidebar to subscribe.
