Country View Crafts Challenges - Love

Happy New Year to you all.  I hope that you have had a wonderful Christmas and New Year?  I would love to hear what crafty treats Santa brought you.

The first challenge of the year is 'Love'.... what a wonderful way to start the year.

Here is my first project of the month


I decided to create an ATC.


I started by brayering a very simple background using PaperArtsy Fresco Acrylic paints.  The pic actually looks darker than it was.


This was then cut into a panel along with a back panel.


I used my Tim Holtz stamp platform to stamp the main image in case I didn't get a clear image first time (but I did).


I love this image.  It is from an Aall and Create set designed by Tracy Evans.


The image was coloured using pencils.


I finished by drawing a border.

So, there you go - first Challenge project of the new decade!

Pop over to the Challenge blog to look at the inspiration from the other team members.

Thanks for joining me today.

  8. There's a great textural look to the brayered background, and I love the drama of that explosion around the heart.
