Live What You Love

Welcome Dare 2B Artzy fans!!  Karen N here from Craftily Yours!

When I saw this FABULOUS Dare 2B Artzy Totally Tracy Stamp - Hearts & Swirls, I couldn't WAIT to ink it up!  I absolutely LoVe the heart with flower wings.  Super fabulous.

I decided to stamp it twice on watercolor cardstock.  On one version, I painted the heart red (with white polka dots done with a Molotow Acrylic White Paint Marker) and painted the leaves green.  I fussy cut both out and fussy cut out just the petals on the flower.  To color, I used Ken Oliver Color Burst powders mixed with water.  On the other version, I created a background using the Color Bursts as well.  I colored up a second yelow heart from the Hearts & Swirls set and fussy cut it out.  Then I layered it all up.  The red heart and green leaves are glued flat and the petals are popped up on the ends.  I also covered the yellow heart with Glossy Accents and used pop tape to stick it in the middle.  Here's a close-up:

With the polka dots, it'd be perfect for this month's Dare 2B Artzy Polka Dot challenge!  (Have you joined us yet??!)

And I decorated in the inside with just a wee bit of color burst and another heart from the set.
