back to the drawing board

a happy valentine's day welcome home flower that i made this weekend. i stumbled upon some new unfinished wood items at the craft store recently and the petals on this flower looked like hearts to me - so i decided to decorate it for the holiday. i used glimmer mist to paint the pot portion - so in real life it's quite glimmery. everything else was inked up with distress ink which also doesn't show that well with the bright light in the photo. trust me though - by the time i finished up my hands were quite inky and glittery.

here is my first shot at a papertrey ink challenge - today's tag download challenge. to start off i printed the downloadable heart image onto a bunch of scraps and then cut them out and pieced them all together. when i pulled out the chipboard accents to match this paper line i noticed that the circle fit perfectly into the pink chipboard doily - and then it all just kind of fell together from there. i was originally going to make a card shaped like the frame, but i think i like the way the wall hanging turned out - the base of the project is a natural maple art board that i covered with a piece of patterned paper.
