This little wooden heart was altered seriously, just to wish you all a day of love and the belief that friendship never does melt, but I know there are a few of you that want that snow to melt! To begin with I spackled on some gesso , as I see Astrid do with her gorgeous creations, which when dried, I painted with a mix of white acrylic paint and Dylusions London Bus spray. When this was dry, I added some stenciled hearts using white paint. The little cuties from Artist Outpost's "Skating Emporium," were stamped directly on the heart using black Archival and heat set. Next was some watercoloring using Brushed Corduroy, Antique Linen, Vintage Photo and Tattered Rose. I did give their little faces a little wash with white paint, but noticed some of the blue came through anyway. Oh such is life.
The snow is a mix of white paint, gloss varnish and Rock Candy glitter. Stamped and cut apart the sentiment and all was sealed with a spray and gel medium. Added a little bouquet of roses to finish.
Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!

I love your snow and the gorgeous flowers on this wall hanging. I love the winter and the snow- but not so much the cold....... Beautifully done!
You captured the feeling of a crisp, frosty winter's day so beautifully.
Such lovely stamps especially the sentiment.
A beautiful hanging.

Love this! Such a sweet sentiment and beautiful background. The flowers curving around the heart's edge are a crowning touch.
The gesso undercoat gives such a lovely softness to this - such a sweet wintry heart!
