Basket full of hearts


Since Bleubeard and I are hosting Art Journal Journey this month, I have a new heart journal entry to share with you. 

It all started with my new teal fluid acrylic, a gifted bicycle stamp (thanks Chris), black dye ink (thanks Mia), an old paint brush, cut hearts, and a cup of water.


I then positioned the hearts "in" the basket on the bike.

Not exactly an original thought, but all I could think of at the time.

As I explained above, I used teal fluid acrylic that I swiped on the sheet of 110 lb card stock.  I watered down some of the fluid acrylic to get the different shades of the background.

Bleubeard and I are delighted you joined us today and hope to see you at Art Journal Journey with your own interpretation of Hearts.

I love your teal and red together, and I love the composition, that there's a large clear blue space and such focus on the hearts in the corner. Sweet!

Mia said...

I knew you would use the ink in such a creative way, Elizabeth.

And now I need a bicycle with a basket full of hearts!!! Ha ha! Kisses!!!

Oh my goodness, I love this! Of course - teal and red! But also I just love the clever way you stacked the hearts in the bicycle basket.

you asked how I made the chain for my Goldfinch card - I drew it with a pencil.

Each day I could say this is my favourite page for your AJJ theme so far. I love the feeling of space and how those hearts are being caught in the basket. Another great inspiration page.
