Hello all, hope your well, I was having a play around over the weekend, this took me a couple of days to make because of the layers drying out. I have tried to add a few 'as we go' pics of this so hope it doesn't bore you to death.
I found an old board canvas, decided to cut into a heart....was not easy but got there in the end
Score marks were just a guide to try get it even
Ran lots of off-cuts through the machine with the TH folder, I love this one.
So began adding some wood letters wrapped in some wire with the odd bead, cuts some keys a few times to bulk up, lots of pebbles scattered around, a small heart I made from left over clay ages ago, just about anything, I also 'studded' round the outter edge with brads, as you can see it was a matter of what can I throw at this next... until it was ready for a first coat of flat black
Once dry added gold, metallic blue paints, and finally some silver rub and buff. I am thinking of adding more of the blue, just dry brushed, but will see.
I added a hoop at the back, which is covered in the same embossed paper so it can be hung.
Let me know if you think it needs a brightener will you.
Thankyou so much for any comments you may leave, am off to make something for a challenge I fancy. Enjoy the rest of your day.

It's gorgeous Janette! A beautiful piece of mixed media art! I really admire (with a touch of jealousy!) the ability to produce something that looks as amazing as this from scratch. I think it's perfect as it is!

Fantastic Janette..I love your heart shape and all the details and embellishments you have added..fabulous..I think this sort of crafting could be my favourite thing to do, until the novelty rubs off, but for now I love doing it too..

I love that embossing folder to...I have a couple of cards coming up that I used it on. This is amazing, Janette, all those details. Looks as if you've been keeping beautifully busy.
This is fabulous Janette and looks good as it is. I love your black/silver steampunk theme and the way you wrapped the wire around the word.
