Valentine......................

here is the card I made for the OH...............................
 
 
 



before................



after..........................
 


 
Ingredients used:-
 
CC Textures 'Distress' EF
CC 'Adagio' EF
Paper clay hearts silicone mould from (Ali-express) if you start to look on this website get a cup of coffee or tea and a biscuit (or several)
Maya Gold 'Cacao' paint
Inka Gold Wax in various colours
Archival ink 'Coffee' and 'Sepia'
Distress Inks in 'Antique Linen' and 'Black Soot'
PC generated sentiment
Foundations card - Khaki
 
I just loved making this card, because other than knowing I wanted to use a paper clay heart, I had no other ideas - I really did 'wing' this one when I started it (Friday, 13th in the evening) but I have to say I was pretty pleased with how it turned out....................strange how sometimes you visualise a card and then you are disappointed when you have finished it and this one I had no idea where I was going with it and liked the finished article........................
 
and finally in situ on the mantelpiece after 'his nibs' had scrutinised it...................
 
 
 
Thanks for popping in to have a look and comment if you have the time......................and to all those who are a little under weather with various ailments - I wish you a speedy recovery......................
 
take care all,
xxGailxx
