Rusty Heart
Today is my birthday and I managed to squeeze a few minutes in between opening gifts and replying to the really unexpected ton of FaceBook and Twitter messages to pop into the Studio! I had nurtured this idea all week when PaperArtsy published their latest challenge - Niches. Then the lovely Wanda Hentges posted a similar idea so I knew that mine had to be made!
I die cut four ATCs from mount board and then I die cut the heart from three of them. In hindsight I'll cut the heart at the same time as the ATC - it's quicker! Then I used pretty much all of the blue Frescos I own (and I think I own them all!) and brayered the top ATC mixing a little Concrete into the final layers. For a final finish I added a PaperArtsy script stamp lightly stamped with Distress Ink. Then I did the same with reds for the bottom ATC. Treasure Gold, rusty wire and a rusty washer (found in a car park!) and it was complete! Thank you for popping over!

Gorgeous - I love the subtle script, and the rusty wire is fab! Hope you had a great day yesterday.
Happy Birthday! I love this ATC. A great contrast of the tender subject of a heart mixed with the rusty grunge of the washer and wire. Beauty and the Beast.
