ART IMITATING LIFE: Love is all around @ Deep Ocean DT

Evening everyone,

today sees the start of a brand new challenge for us over at

'Love is all around'

and here's what I made:

I started with just the plain white heart which has a clip on the bottom string.

The clip has a tag featuring Tilda with heart arrows, coloured with DI's. I added aged silver frantage first around the image, on top of that I added shabby pink frantage. The heart text stamp around Tilda is from the BoBunny Love Letters clear stamp set. I used Spellbinders Labels two to cut around the image and the pink background card. SU spiral punch used down left side of both. DooHickeys used: cloud and wings. A bark heart from LLC and WOC flowers are the finishing touches.

A close up of Tilda shows the stickles used on her headband and the crackle accents on the hearts.

I used an SU heart cluster stamp for part of the edge of the white heart. More aged silver frantage for embossing the Love sentiment (again from the BoBunny set) and finished off with more WOC flowers, pink gems and pink tulle ribbon.

Our fab sponsor this fortnight is the awesome Ribbon Girl
