Anyone find some more hours in the day, let me know!!
I made this for the current IC challenge, partly inspired by the distressed wooden heart in Stef's first thumbnail (for the background) and also by these Bird Bookplates.
A2 white base, with a doodled border added with a black pen.
For the base layer I was inspired by the wooden heart to try the Acrylic Distress technique. I only had white gesso, all my acrylic paints are colours, so I am not sure it came out quite like it should. I painted my card with gesso, and when it was dry I embossed it, sanded it, sponged it with Scattered Straw and then used a damp cloth to wipe the ink off, so it mostly stayed on the sanded areas.
WhipperSnapper image stamped on white card cut with Sizzix tags #3 ,doodled border added, coloured with distress inks (Scattered Straw, Soot Black) and some twine and three black gems added.
