It's practically unheard of for me but I have been happily playing with paper and ink all afternoon so decided I would join in a couple of challenges, the following piece fits both the Lots To Do 'Ribbon/Lace' theme and the Alter It Monthly 'Musical' theme.
♥ HUGZ ♥
The base is mountboard, with 2 grungeboard hearts placed on top and then the whole thing covered in gel medium, draped with a slightly damp old music sheet {a few spritz from your mini mister should do the trick}, work the paper in around the hearts to define them taking care not to tare, use a smidge of gel medium on top to seal. Let the whole thing dry, and once hard then its time to ink.
I used barn door or was it fire brick.. anyways.. round the edge of the base, avoiding the hearts, and coloured the hearts themselves with a creamy brown chalk ink. I edged the heart and the whole piece with a gold marker. Stapled some frilly cream lace to the bottom, creating a thought ribbon from the left over bit i had and adding a heart brad to finish it. I then i found a fab quote which i typed out on my label maker and added to complete the little hanging piece.♥ HUGZ ♥

This is fabulous! Also, I wanted to let you know that I received the fabulous package that you sent on Saturday!!! I love it all! Such beautiful things! My favorite is the Alice shadow box!!! I already have it hanging in my studio! Thank you SO much!!!!
This is lovely, I so love the sentiment. I thought at first the hearts were made of acetate but what a neat idea of moulding the paper around them and the base board. Fab piece!
