By now it should be no secret that Bleubeard and I are hosting Art Journal Journey this month with our theme Hearts. I'm also joining Try it on Tuesday, whose themes this fortnight are Go Green (the color) or Recycle Something.
The photos were taken late at night and didn't photograph well. I decided to take new photos after I had the post ready.
I'm not sure this is much better, but at least the colors are truer.
I call this Open your heart.
There's all kinds of glitter in the paint, which made it difficult to photograph.
It all depended on how I held my camera and how much light I picked up in the room. 
There's several heart buttons inside the heart
that I cut from repurposed vintage sheet music.
To capture the tulle, which I recycled from another project, thus meeting Try it on Tuesday's requirements,
I sewed around the heart using red/pink variegated thread. The hole in the tulle was symbolic of opening the heart.
The sentiment was computer generated, then outlined in black Sharpie and given a coat of glitter paint.
For this journal page, I began with 110 lb card stock, to which I added glitter paint over the entire background. When dry, I added a red stamp, then added the heart assembly (composed of recycled sheet music and recycled tulle) using PVA glue.Thanks for your visit today. I'm delighted you stopped by. Please also join me at Try it on Tuesday and Art Journal Journey.
Beautiful page E, great idea with the heart buttons inside the heart. Have a fun day, Valerie

Oh I love the little sparkle in the background. Nice recycled page and heart page. It has a great downhome country kind of feel to it. Or vintage look. Thanks for sharing with us at Try It On Tuesday and for being our guest designer this challenge too. Have a super start to your weekend. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to recycle Tulle, I have yet to sew on a card. I inherited a small sewing machine and have high hopes that one day I will pull it out and try it ~ Thanks for the inspiration, have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI can't tell these were photographed in the dark at all, and it looks fabulous. Those heart buttons are quite creative, and who doesn't love a little glitter?! Hugs and Happy Friyay! RO
