My Art on my Heart.. the *B* Side by Tracey Fairgrieve
10:59
Good Monday all, it's my turn to share
some creativity on the That's Crafty Blog today.
As you may remember last week I shared
a little Art on my Heart, the shape of these hearts are really fetching and it
seemed such a waste of space to leave the back so sparse so I've smothered it
with creativity..
Here in words and pictures is My Art on
my Heart.. the *B* Side
Primed with Gesso using the squiggle
stamp from set 2 of the Textures Collection by That's Crafty! I stamped straight
onto the heart diagonally using a variety of Distress Oxides, covered with
clear embossing powder and heat embossed.
From the That's Crafty! Motivational
Words stamp set 1 the words Be Creative have been stamped using Black Archival
ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. Now it was time to shut the
world out and do just that *Be Creative* over all those blank areas.
Using the Textures Collection stamps
set 1 and 2 I filled the space by stamping with Distress Oxides and embossing
each print using clear and a sprinkle of gold embossing powder occasionally.
The white circles have been created by stamping into white gesso with a
spritzer bottle top and transferring the paint onto the heart, this too has
been given a sprinkle of clear embossing powder and heated.
When completed with all that embossed
texture I felt that my Heart was still lacking a little something even with a
whisper of gilding wax. Inspired by Dorthe my Team Mate and her addition of a
little Blue Gem last Monday I decided to add a gem or two or three to mine. Now
I think it's complete.
Like an open and closed sign on a shop
door this double sided heart could be used in the same way. From last weeks
*Art ~ Dont be Afraid* to this Weeks *Be Creative* I know which side of the
Heart I would like to be on... don't you??
Wishing you a Happy, Safe and Creative
week, until we meet again same time next Monday please come back each day to
check out the creativity my Team Mates share with you.. I know you will be as
inspired as I am.
Creative Hugs
Tracey xx
