Project Details
Trim watercolor paper to ATC size. Mine is a longer than 3 1/2 because it's for my revolving ATC holder so I can extend things over the edges. Stamp heart image (Hampton Arts) with VersaMark ink and heat emboss with clear embossing powder. Brush on red watercolor paint (VanGough Permanent Red Deep) and blot some area's with paper towel so that it's not a solid color. Let the first coat dry and then apply another coat. Draw circles using a stencil (Crafter's Workshop). Paint random dots black (Lyra Watercolor Crayon). Paint around heart with black ink, smearing as you to. Grunge up the heart a little by smearing on a very small amount of black here and there. Create a mask (Eclipse Masking Tape) and carefully splatter on white watered down acrylic paint by loading a paint brush and flicking it over the ATC. Ink edges with black ink and doodle. Wrap with black twine and tie knot. Adhere to revolving atc holder card. Print word art, trim, ink edges, doodle and staple with Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher. Embellish with stick pin (Maya Road) and trim (Hobby Lobby). Print "true love", trim, ink edges, trim along top with deckled scissors and staple with Tiny Attacher.
