Happy Wednesday! The new Funkie Junkie Boutique Challenge is all about the Valentine! The challenge is called Funkie Frilly Valentine! Janna is hosting and she has asked us to create a frilly or funkie valentine.
I was inspired by paper bag hearts! I had a lunch bag sitting on my desk to be recycled and decided to hand draw some hearts and cut them out.
After I had those paper bag hearts I just started playing with mediums and ended up here:
After that dried I splattered with some white paint mixed with some water to thin the paint. I let that dry and embossed the entire heart with clear embossing powder. It gave the paper bag a beautiful translucent effect.
After that I pulled out the beautiful gold leaf metallic effect from Prima Marketing. This was embossed into the hearts to add a beautiful gold effect.
I paired up the various hearts and created backgrounds using layering stencils and distress inks.
I hope this has you inspired to share with us your Funkie or Frilly Valentines! Come join us in the challenge! The overall winner will be offered the chance to be a Guest Designer at a future date at The Funkie Junkie Boutique Blog, and everyone who enters and follows the rules will go into the drawing for the chance to win a $25.00 spending spree at The Funkie Junkie Boutique. There are also Top 3 Badges for three additional outstanding entries, chosen by the Design Team.
Thanks for stopping by!
