A Fine romance........

This month at Crafty Individuals I picked the theme for the challenge .......A Fine Romance. Jean asked us all to have a go at a step by step project so this is mine.
I have used a heart shape from Aspire but this project will work with any chip board shape.

I stamp the clock image CI-354 with Versamark and then embossed with fine gold embossing powder by Wow, I masked off the clock and then using Archival Potting Soil ink to stamp the tulip image CI-388, then I coloured the images and background of the heart with Pan Pastels.
I stamped CI-139 Queen of Hearts onto a piece of card suitable for water colouring with Potting Soil Ink again and coloured in the image using Tattered Rose, Tea Dye and Victorian Velvet distress inks, the background of the stamp was coloured in with Prismas pencils. Then I added some blue and white Frantage to the background.

I used a diamond stencil and stencilled parts of the heart with Imagination Sparkle Medium paste. Dry with a heat gun.
Fray a piece of cheese cloth fabric and arrange on the heart.
Using your finger or stencil brush to add Treasure Gold (I've used white fire) to the edges of the heart and stamped image.
Stick pearls around the inside edge of the image

I've used white seam binding for the bow which I coloured using Tattered Rose Distress ink spritzed with water for a softer look, then add a heart button.

Stamp three different size flowers from CI-206 Flower heads with versamark and emboss with ultra fine gold, colour the flowers with Pan Pastels then snip into two of the petals and glue slightly behind each other, curl the edges the flowers layer up the two larger flowers and stick below the main stamped image.
