About Me

My photo
I'm a retired primary school teacher, who started paper crafting in 2008, when I had a fancy to make my own Christmas cards. Since then, I have tried all sorts of techniques and styles - and I kind of like them all. I have been lucky enough to be on blog teams and large design teams and to do a bit of freelance demonstrating - and I love the challenge of working with different products. My crafting style is very varied - from junk journaling and art journaling, bookbinding and journal making, to quilting and patchwork - and of course I still make cards. This variety keeps me interested - and my crafty stash growing!! I'm always seeking inspiration for new projects.

Wooden Heart

Here's something that's really quick to make - and looks so effective. I picked up the wooden heart for a couple of pounds in The Range, and the letter tag in Hobbycraft for a quid.
I used Rice Paper 418 as it provided a nice background with no focal image.
I turned the paper over, drew around the heart and then used water to outline it, so I could tear the heart shape out. This was then stuck onto the heart. 
I covered the wooden letter tag with Rich Gold Starlight, using a stencil brush.
I applied Chocolate Shabby Chic Texture Paste through the Inky Script stencil.
And also added it to a paper rose.
Flat backed pearls were added to the tag.... 

... and the heart.
And finally the tag and the flower were attached to the heart. As I said, not overly complicated - but very effective.
