Well, this is fun! Inkspirational Colour Challenge and The Color Hues Challenge have combined forces into one great challenge using the colors Red and Pink - perfect for my push on valentines.
I might have played a bit fast and loose on the colors, using red and pink with a touch of warmth to them. I liked how the ivory tone of the watercolor paper combined with the warmer reds and pinks.
I die cut an older Penny Black "Fancy Heart" from a square of heavy, creamy watercolor paper and glued the heart back in place. I attached a die-cut red heart in the center and threaded a needle with ivory silk thread, knotted it, pulled it through the heart, and tied it off in the back. I mounted the printed heart paper to a square red card base and attached the front panel over it with dimensional foam so that there would be a definite 'window' in the face.
Here's a closer look:
I like the fancy heart, this is pretty!
ReplyDeleteYour Fancy Heart is beautiful! I love your use of watercolor paper, and the tiny heart with the tied knot. (I think of these as one of your trademarks.) Thanks for sharing with us at Color Hues!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a creative card, Fran! I could not love it anymore. Thanks for sharing with us at Color Hues.
ReplyDeleteFran, your delicate ivory heart, paired with the warm hues of red and pink, is beautiful. Such a lovely combination. The addition of the heart-on-a-string is the perfect special touch. So delighted that you've shared this gem as part of the Colour Hues + Inkspirational collaboration.
