Tin Man Looking for Love!

With Valentine's Day just around the corner, I knew I had to incorporate this Tin Man from Artistic Outpost. When this plate was first released, I just had to have it! My DH loves the "Wizard of Oz" and I knew I would be using this image, but was not sure quite how. Well it all started with Linda and the new CCC#29 challenge of "Weathered Wood Grunge." I know this does not look like wood, but I did the technique to use for the love season! A fun and new group I have joined, Bella Creations, is having a "February Love Ticket" challenge and a sheet of these tickets can be found at Miss CutiePie! The Tin Man is also going in search of a heart and love at ARTchix Studio, The Cheerful Stamp Pad and Tag Tuesday.  And since The Wizard Of Oz is such a delightful childhood memory, we are off to see the kind people at Simon Says Stamp and Show.

I stamped the image and also made a mask. I stamped it twice as I wanted to tear the sentiment, which is part of the image. I then stamped a third time, so I could emboss the heart shaped clock in red! I used both Copic and Stampin Up markers to color the image (I gave him greenish eyes) then masked the Tin Man and city off. I used distress inks and then misted and blotted the excess water. Oh I had to do all of this twice, because for whatever reason, the first time when I lifted off the mask the face got torn! If it can happen, I can do it! I then stamped the second sentiment to add below the heart! Silly me also punched out the tiny hearts, shaded and glued them down. I have no doubt that the Tin Man will not only find a heart, but plenty of love!

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend and your visits and comments are always so enjoyed!

    This is terrific, Terry! Love the fact that you have done something original with the heart theme. Don't know if it is the same as a Tin Man, but I have a Wooden Man who is capable of love!

    Netty and Terry, a Wooden Man has trouble showing his feelings! It wasn't anything rude, honest! I am lucky enough to be married to one of those men who only loves his wife and his mum! He will see what you put on my blog now and wonder what I have been saying, lol!

    Oh I just love this! I'm with your DH, love The Wizard of Oz. In fact, one of my favorite saying when I'm miffed is "Don't make me get my flying monkeys". Not something actually said in the original movie, lol, but I would really like to have a few of those monkeys of my own sometimes to help me out.

    Oh! Terry I adore that little Tin Man (I actually typed "Tim Man" and then caught myself-- how funny is THAT?!). The weathered wood technique is just gorgeous on that pretty heart, and the entire design is beautiful! Your masking work is spectacular!

    This tag made me happy. :-)
