Two Hearts Joined As One For Creative Expressions ....

It's time to share my 1st project for Creative Expressions using these new stamp plates. This month we are working with Heart Entwined A5 Stamp Set & Special Sentiments A5 Stamp Plate.


I opted to go for the "painty" look for project #1 ... using Adirondack Acrylic Paint Dabbers (Cranberry, Aqua, Cool Peri & SnowCap)
 The background stamps are Sam Poole's Bubble Wrap & Chicken Wire A6 stamps.
The "hearts" from the Heart Entwined set have been inked using Archival Ink (Jet Black) onto left over painted card stock then given a layer of Distress Crackle (Rock Candy)
  The quote is also from the above stamp set " Two Hearts Joined As One". I've also added some Sage Polka Washi Tape to the background to add extra interest.
To fade/age the corner some more  I used a sanding block .... love the result!

Hope you have enjoyed today's project! I will be back with project #2 real soon.

Until next time stay inky!
