I've had so much fun playing with that cork and canvas that have been hoarded for so long!
I randomly stamped the canvas with a script stamp and die cut some cork.
Then I used my water brush to watercolor the largest and smallest heart with some
Real Red re-inker, stacked them up, added a little bow and adhered the stack to the canvas.
A die cut cork sentiment and piece of cork for the background and I was done.
There's still time to join in at
Thank you Joanna for the excuse to use my stash of cork and canvas!
My mixed media are stamping, cork, canvas, watercolor and die cuts
and
Both challenges end on the 24th.
Enjoy!
