Love

Hello!  I am back today sharing a lovely tag for the Frilly and Funkie Challenge "All You Need is Love".  The fabulous Zoe is hosting the challenge this time and she describes the challenge as:

"With Valentines just a couple of weeks away, I've chosen "ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE" as the challenge theme. It's time to let cupid draw his paintbrush and create a vintage or shabby chic project with the word "LOVE" somewhere on the project. It can be the focus or just a tiny detail."


I can't tell you how many half finished projects I have on my desk right now. I started with so many wonderful ideas and got lost along the way in finishing them. 


I found this lovely little script and started stamping it over and over again on a painted background and that is when I finally picked up steam and finished this sweet tag.

I painted mixed media paper with white gesso to give a base to my creations.  I then stamped repeatedly the love letter using archival ink.

I took out the Abandoned Coral Spray and dripped and splashed and spritzed with water to get the inky mess in the background.

I let that dry and then traced a few hearts in black watercolor pencil.  Used a waterbrush to soften and shade those hearts.

Then the lovely couple jumped onto my tag.  I then had this thought of draping baby hearts as banners and voila!  The tag finished itself.

Well I hope you have time to share your love with us and join in the challenge!  The winner will earn the chance of a Guest DT spot here at Frilly and Funkie, and everyone who enters and follows the rules will go into the draw for the chance to win a $25 spending spree at The Funkie Junkie Boutique. And there are Top 3 Badges for three further outstanding entries, chosen by the Design Team, because choosing just one winner is so hard!

Thanks for stopping by!

  1. Wow, Suzz! I just am amazed at your creative spirit! I adore this water color background! I searched and searched for that stamp set that contains the love letter. I'm sure it's here somewhere...Anywho, it looks fabulous on your background. And those heart banners are the most creative way to spell out your LOVE! Big hugs!

    2. Thanks, Suzz! I saw it on another blog with the set, and knew exactly where I kept those smaller sets. (Mine's the smaller set I got at Michaels years ago.)
