Happy Valentines

Here is wishing everyone a fabulous Valentines Day !!!!!

Here is a piece put together with 5 things I had sent to me by a member of UK Stampers Forum as part of a Random Swap. 

The five items were an oversized paperclip, a polymer clay pebble with the words Natural Beauty, a wooden bird, a rusty heart and a bookring.

I took some fuschia pink cardstock and punched around with Martha Stewart punches.  Then I used Dusty Concord Distress ink and applied this with a sponge around the edges.  I applied a mask centrally and sponged through this with the same ink.

Next I stuck the bird in place with Glossy Accents. 

The gold paperclip was then coloured with some red pepper AI and some felt.  This was then clipped into place to hold the rusty heart as shown.

Final touches were to add the polymer clay sentiment and to place the bookring through the filigree at the top left.  The piece was highlighted in various places with white pen to complete.
