LISTEN TO YOUR HEART - A VALENTINE COLLAGE PROJECT

As part of the "Impressionists" (collage) group activities at Bella Creations   Bella member Heather Hudson provided a step by step for us on this simple project meant for beginners in collage.  Click on the title of this post to visit Heather's blog and check out her project but do also come and join us at Bella Creations

I have done this on a 6x6x2 inch canvass, the bird, scrolls, sentiment and frame are all from a Tim Holtz stamp set. The cardboard heart I freehand drew, ripped the top layer off and spritzed with several reddish mists, then copper and then dabbed with gold paint and gilt pen.  A Prima flower, some metal charms and vintage slip edge (lace).  Simple, sweet and fairly quick!  Thanks Heather for a great little project!

    I love this collage also. I am finding that I love the 6x6 format for a lot of canvas projects around here. Thanks for stopping by for a giggle and pop on over again soon. I'll check out the Bella Creations also.
