Inspirational Post by Alysha



Hi girls, Alysha here

This is my DT reminder for February theme RED

I took an MDF heart and painted it with red paint, then decoupaged on some music papers and used a butterfly stamp and a crackle stamp to create the crackle on the outside of the heart and the little stamped butterflies.
The circles I created using a mask and some home made texture paste (PVA glue and baby powder)
I finally added the flower and butterfly embellishments

 Mad Hatter Heart.
The base of this is a card heart, which I covered in handmade Gesso, painted with red acrylic paint then layered up with torn paper scraps and stamping in black and copper.. A fortune telling card from a pack I found was used to stamp the Mad Hatter (Indigoblu Alice II stamp set).


A die cut frame for ART wording and a cute key affixed with a red heart brad finished the project.

Crafting Vicky

A little journalling out of the box using some brushos for the background.  Then added some acrylic paints with stencils.  I also used some Fabercastel pens for the edge and a white uniball pen.

An altered box lid - the original box was red with white spots as you can see at the side. I covered the lid with white gesso and then used mod podge to adhere a piece of the top later of a paper napkin with hearts. I used a Balzer's Design roses stencil with imagination crafts silver sparkle medium, then used a piece of sequin waste dabbing through the holes with red Colorbox ink. Ribbon, hearts etc were then added.
