Love of her life

 

This is my final entry for my February challenge.  Some of you "got" what I meant when I said I once heard someone say the reason Shakespeare's plays were so long was because he chose to use 10 words when one would have sufficed.  It was really a Shakespearean way of saying "Anything goes."  Please enjoy this final entry and I sincerely hope you will join in this final day of February with your entry, too.  Now that I can leave comments again, I'll definitely be by to visit and leave my own comment!

It's obvious that He was the love of her life.  Details are below.
 



 
I began by stenciling the hearts through punchinella, also known as sequin waste, in three areas of the 5.5 X 8.5 inch (13.97 X 21.59 centimeter) cardstock using red dye ink.  While the ink was drying, I covered a standard 35mm slide (which is a 2 X 2 inch plastic frame) with heart washi tape. The clear plastic cover protected the image of the boy I colored and placed inside the frame.  Next, I added the heart washi tape to the bottom of the page so the TH paper doll would have a place on which to stand. 
 
Bleubeard and I are jumping for joy that you stopped by today, and hope to also see you on this final day of February at Art Journal Journey with your own interpretation of Anywhere, Anytime, Any Place, with Anyone.

I like the punchella stenciling. It makes a cool background image. You've had a super month hosting. It's been fun seeing all your art. Thanks for posting so often also. hugs-Erika
